Tyre Choice over the Race Weekend

[WhattyWhatWhat81]

At the end of each session of a given race weekend, some of your tyre allocation (13 dry sets, 8 inter/wet sets) needs to be returned to the manufacturer. From what I can see, this is entirely at the choice of the game rather than the player. Is there any option to select which tyres go back? Or is it a case that all used (even partially) get returned at the end of a session?

I have the same issue. Some weekends I save a soft or a medium for the race, and out of nowhere on Sunday I am left with very used up tyres that ruin my whole race strategy

You give back 2 sets per practice session.
The game picks for returning the 2 most used ones or the one you used + 1 soft (if you only used one).
Hope it helps.

Thanks, it helps explain what it is doing but doesn't help fix the underlying problem. Would be nice if you were given the choice on what goes back. I can control small details on car set up but not what sets I keep/return. Seems like a big miss and a simple fix.

Majority goes for the following:

P1: Hard / Soft
P2: Medium / Soft
P3: Soft / Soft

That usually leaves you with 1 Hard, 2 Medium and at least 2 Fresh Soft Tyres for the Race on Sunday :)

I realize this is old, but it's also totally relevant imho,

ok how do players explain this then,

i am playing as AR, just had the Azerbaijan,,, sprint race and now for the main race it won't let me use a set of fresh soft tires on either car if i go to tire allocation screen says there are 4 sets and i have to return all 4 , why? the softs it is letting me use have 94 and 76 percent life left...
I don't understand the track has low abraisiveness therefore i want to use the soft tire but i can't use any new ones, can someone plz explain to me why....? FYI don't know if this should help answer but:
Did i use soft during the sprint?, yes i did along with every other team, it had me on the mediums, but i switched to softs...again not seeing how this is remotely fair...i mean what is the point of saving any tires if i can't use them anyway??
