Tyre Compound

[Vadimus]

Hey guys, I'm trying to understand what are these compounds and how to get more info about them? There are Masculin Track, UHP, XR, Faretti (?) compound, but I cant seem to find anything about them on the internet to make adjustments to the car.

Edit: Or are they just a knock-off of real tyres - Masculin (Michelin), Faretti (Pirelli) for licensing and legal reasons?

Cheers

LOL, same here. I'm really confused about the tires. What are the differences between the tuning-setup tires and the pitstop tires?? o:O Some information about the tires would be very helpful.

The tires are inspired from real tires
Well the masculin track is what it says it is, a slick track tire, low grip when cold.

The XR is extreme road tires so they are supposed to be the cup tires http://www.michelinman.com/US/en/tires/products/pilot-sport-cup-2.html, also got a bad grip profile when cold but not as severe as Track

The UHP is supposed to the high performance road tires. http://www.michelinman.com/US/en/tires/products/pilot-sport-3.html, good grip when cold but lower total grip.

I'm not sure but I think that currently the UHP and XR have similar grip but XR is more sensitive to tempature. That may be addressed later in the way that UHP get a tad lower grip.

the faretti comes from another brand and usually fitted stock on Supersupercars and I think they are equvivalent to the masculin XR

You know? That one has been driving me nuts! In the tune-up section you can let weather decide which tire compound you use and you can set up each pitstop to switch tires.

That helps thank you, Could you possibly answer about the tune-up and pitstop tire compound?

Cheers for explaining.
So Masculin and Faretti are the real brands?

Masculin is Michielin Faretti is Pirelli but I did notice a couple of cars already have the Michielin tires and I seen a couple of cars with Pirelli tires.

I can't doublecheck but I think they are the same tires but the setup is what you start with and pitstop is what you change to when you do the pitstop.
