Dev please fix it.

For each FP session, 2 sets of tyres will be sent to Pirelli for "analysis", whether you use them or not. If you didn't use 2 sets, it will default to sending back a set of soft tyres.

While we should definitely have the option to choose which tyres to return, this can easily be fixed by actually doing something in practice instead of having cars sit in the garrage all sessions.

yep, we should have the option to choose. untill then:
Every session, 2 Sets Tyres will be taken away. if you used 2 or more sets at end of session, the 2 lowest % Sets will be taken away.
If you used less then 2 Sets, then the used and the softest unused will be taken away.

Work Around: mark Tyre sets by Driving out of pit and directly back into pit if you dont want to use them.

Yeah his screen shows he didn't use any tyre, idk why people would leave the cars in the garage for the whole FP sessions.

I assume they look up the setups on on a guide and then do nothing to save power units and parts.

Yeah but I really don't like having 0 driver confidence during race, they end up doing weird ♥♥♥♥ all the time, I'd rather pay up more parts.

Also just for balance/realism. Fight the AI on its own terms.

So 6 tires get sent back after all 3 practice sessions. if you do nothing it will be 6 soft tires. this game punishes you for siming through so don't imo.
This is how i use tires

P1 use 2 soft tires set for 20 lap runs. call them in after 5/5 adjust and bounce them back out. at most tracks you should get 3(ish) runs.

P2 use 2 med tires. set the first for around a 30 lap run. let them stay out till done then change to the other med tire for about a 10 - 15 lap run and done. (this assumes you are close to finishing your setup my the start of P2)

P3 Hard tire on 30 - 40 lap run. let it run till all 100% then done. don't go out for any reason other then setup & percentages.

at the end of P3 you should be down 3 soft tires (2 in P1 & 1 in P3) 2 med tires and 1 hard tire.

If you further wish to save tires then use scuffs from Q1 in Q2 and only go out once in each session. (if able) the drop off between 2 Q laps is not much. if you know you can easy make Q3 (or know you will easy not make it) best to save tires. and always sticker Q3 of course.

Why i do not have this problem? In every Qualifying i have 5 soft tyres available. Dont know what happened at your save.

He just has his cars sitting in the garage during all the practice sessions so the game automatically sends back the soft ones.
