Blisters & Graining
Hi,
Firstly, Love the Game Thank you.

But I want to get the best and without Manual I'm finding a few struggles.

1. Graining :
"Graining of the loaded front tyre can be avoided if it is ensured that they are fully up to temperature before pushing hard. It is relatively easy to generate temperature in the driven tyres as they are transmitting power most of the time. The front tyres, however, will need to be given more time and be loaded up progressively before they will be 'In' fully. It should be noted that it is the loading of tyres that introduces the significant heat, not sliding or wheelspinning."

I Get Graining mostly in Mercedes AMG '15 but do 4-5 laps slow to build heat and pressure but always have Graining on both front tyres even at Barcelona (mainly Right Hand Turns)

How do I set car to try and avoid this? Smaller camber, softer springs etc

2. Blistering:
"Too high cold inflation pressure, too much pressure build-up during use or (or combined with) extremely high track temperature can cause the tread to overheat. The heat is generated at the interface between the belt plies and the tread and the rubber melts, causing a local blister."

Do I cure Blisters by Increasing Tyre Psi befgore I start the session? I have got blisters on a lot of cars both front and rear. can it just be Psi or can we help another way??

Thank you in advance.
Again, for me I love this game 100/10 Exceptional, Amazing and Wonderful.

The best way to control temperatures is 1) Brake ducts and 2) driving style.

Camber or pressures will help a little bit, but they have their own issues, especially over longer distances, right where tyre degradation actually starts to matter.
Also both have significant effect on 2) driving, so if you are not perfect with control, you might get effect opposite of intended.

If for example you have a lot of blisters and weather isn't scorching hot, drive more smoothly and open up those ducts.

Lastly, often more understeery setup gives better wear and temperature distribution (add front ARB or rear wing, and front brake bias) thou how much understeer to use is very subjective, you'd have to test what makes you quicker in the long run.
