Tires always getting cold

[lynx]

Sorry, it may be a rookie question, but lately I can't get my tires working anymore.
Even on tracks I used to drive fairly ok laptimes I just slither around on cold tires.

Take Spa, after the last turn my tire temperature may be somewhat heated up but just before turn 1 my front tires start cooling down and at the beginning of Eau Rouge all four are stone cold. (Mercedes AMG GT3)

How do I have to improve my set up and driving style in order to keep the temperatures at an optimal stage? (Right now I am using a setup found at radiators-champ).

Thanks for your help!

All depend the air temp, camber and tire pressure settings. ofc if you set air temp to 15°c or lower on a track with many long straights like SPA, your tires will cool down quickly on straights (which is logical). But anyways there's allways a way to setup your tires whatever the air temp and the circuit used.

I have 22°C air temp with optimal track surface.
I am going to test a few changes in camber and pressure settings.

What bothers me is, that I never used to have this problem to this extent.
It's like they patched something into the game within the last few months which I am not aware of.
A new calculation adding to the tire temps, which I can take account of and maybe adapt my way of driving.
Maybe I am not driving aggressive enough, I'd rather stay clear and loose a few hundreds than crashing twice a lap. Which I keep doing anyways now since my tire temp drops that much...

it doesn't matter what changes they did and you don't need any calculation ...
The rules and setup are allways the same for optimal tires.
You probably need some more experience in sirmacing to figure it out.

But I can tell you that to increase the temperature of your tires in a straight line, you have to adjust the camber so that the temperature spreads on the central surface of your tires. (Which will increase the stability of the braking at the end of the straight line and thus avoid blocking your wheels since your tires will not be completely cold)

But on the other hand, your car may understeer at the corner entry since the outside surface of the tires may be cold.

In short, it is a setting to make and when you will find this optimal setting, you will not have this problem anymore.

I'm working on it. I'm lacking the technical experience, so I am a bit slow to fix this problem.
Just thought it felt different to drive now compared to a year ago, so it was worth a shot.
Thank you again for your response (and for not trolling)!

huh.. didnt know that. Makes sense. Thanks for teaching me something.

Drive the car harder :)

Camber won't actually do too much in a straight line, for that you'll want more toe angle.

Lower the tyre pressures, give a little more negative toe and camber, hotter track surface and you should see some improvement. A softer compound will give the biggest result by far, but then you can easily overheat those at Spa.

A lot has changed tyre wise over the last year or so for sure.

Yeah I increased track temperature und disabled wind. Kind of cheating but helpful indeed.
A bit of more negative toe and camber and 1 psi less on the tires improved the situation as well.

Now I only need to find the missing 10 seconds in my race line...

LOL sounds like fun.....

If you lower your tire pressure then tire temps go up and if you raise your tire pressure then temps will go down. Also tire compound will have an impact on this, hard tires will take the longest to heat up and super soft tires will heat up the fastest.

If temperatures are to low then certain tire compounds and or setups just will not get you enough temps, you also have issue that relate to certain cars. I ran a custom championship in the Porsche 911 RSR, it was great on every track however when I got to the Nurburging I had an issue getting and keeping the front tires warm.

The reason for this is simple, the Porsche 911 is a rear heavy car (all rear engine and rear midship cars are rear heavy) which means less mechanical grip on the front tires. This will naturally create a situation where your front tires just do not build heat as well as the rear tires.
