PSA: Crew 2 Owners Get Free Tire Vanities

[Dewlapped]

If you own The Crew 2 and "import your collection" to Motorfest it will give you 11 default looking tire vanities in Motorfest.

These are the vanity tires you get:

• Classic Asphalt Tire
  
• Classic Monster Truck Tire
  
• Stretched Asphalt Tire
  
• Stretched Asphalt Tire "White Line"
  
• Slick Asphalt Tire
  
• Classic Trail Road Tire
  
• Classic Offroad Tire
  
• Performance Asphalt Tire
  
• Vintage Asphalt Tire
  
• Whitewall Asphalt Tire
  
• Smooth Stretched Asphalt Tire

I played TC2 near it's launch before vanities were a thing, so i had to re-install and launch The Crew 2 to unlock all the default tire vanities.

Unfortunately I didn't know about this right away and spent CC on bundles in the car meet to get some of vanity tires. Don't do what I did.

Also if you have any remaining money in TC2 you can spend it on cars to transfer to Motorfest if they're in both games, even after the initial import. It will update you garage when logging back into TCM.

My favorite part is un-stretching the drift car tires.

I think because each tire type actually affects handling, they just made blank versions without any desings free for everyone. They did that back in TC2 and I'm pretty sure it's the same in TCM. Don't think you need to import your collection to get them.

Not wrong, but also not the full story.
When TC2 released, all road cars (Street and Hypercar) had the exact same tire, the "Classic Asphalt Tire" to be precise. Eventually, Ivory Tower started overhauling the handlingmodel as well as the tiremodel. Together with that, cars got new tires, however, those who owned a car since before the handling overhaul happened were stuck with the Classic Asphalt Tire (even vintage cars were equipped with that tire by default and you had no way of changing to the now-new Vintage Asphalt Tire).
In other words, the default tires were given out so that everyone could equip their cars with the "now default tires".
And as a little trivia/fun fact, the handling overhaul also changed how thick tires get when upgraded. That lead to the Classic Asphalt Tire being thicker than the Stretched Asphalt Tire. This was very obvious on the KTM X-Bow, because the rear wheel with the Classic Asphalt Tire actually reached out over its wheel arch/mud guard.

I didn't have the selection of tires in Motorfest until I imported after my Crew 2 visit.

Maybe I was experiencing a bug? I couldn't find anyone else talking about this so maybe i was a unique case.
