Can't Heat The Tyres!

[weltmeister]

I've got tyre blankets. It works nice. I got optimum tyres at the begining but when i start to drive, it suddenly decreases the heat. I've already check the game files and i formatted the computer for some reason but it still fixed!

What's important is the contact patch being ideal while lapping. It has to be on the ideal PSI & the PSI number will show bright green.

Incorrect tire pressure or incorrect suspension setting may lead the tire to not heat up correctly.

I'm using stock psi value.

Optimum does not mean reachable. Kunos semislicks are modeled after a pretty hard real tyre, so on lighter cars you are not supposed to have green temperatures all the time.

Stock tyre pressure numbers are ok on the some of the cars that were made or were tweaked late into development. While on a lot of the cars it's too high causing reduced temperatures.

Thou fun fact: in most cases the pressure is actually correct... for a different tyre type (usually it's set for street tyres while car is defaulted on semislicks).

lower the psi until green temp on tyre tester, also add some toe out on front

Toe will do nothing for tyre temps. In fact even if the simulation was perfect (which AC is far from when it comes to simulating heat) toe out would go against camber thrust, reducing lateral force generated on straights and drag and heat that comes with it.

You have to play with that setting in order to play the game as intended.

Each wheel doesn't travel at the same speed while cornering around the track. It leads to different temperature at each one while lapping.

To take advantage of the tires patch, you set the pressure by taking account of the change in air thermal expansion inside the tire. So they end up on the magic number.

Each type of tires wil have an ideal condition based on certain air temperature & track layout combo.

It's possible to find server that may have some extreme temperature change between practice,qualification & race to win effortless & troll people who doesn't know.

some very good answers ! lower tyre pressure helps me also alignment camber seems very low on some of the cars ! and softening the suspension < wheel rate > helps ... Rear to loose ??? lower alignment and/or rear suspension a bit ! ... Experimentation is the spice of life ! ... ps i am no expert ! but covid has seen me experimenting with time aplenty so if covid keeps me a prisoner then by christmas i just may be getting close to expert level .... But be warned this game has lots of frustrating oopsies ,,, spend hours getting the setup perfect .. enter a career race ... and oopsie ! the setup is miles away ! in fact it feels like a completely different car /track ???
