Better Tire Grip

This mod improves the performance of all SCS tires in the rain and snow.
Since a few updates ago, driving in the rain has felt more slippery than before and a bit like driving on ice.

I recently discovered why this is. When SCS added tire stats to ETS2, they also added the same physics logic to ATS, but they didn't add the actual parameters to the tires.
This resulted in default values being applied to all tires in the game (aside from the ones in the wheel tuning pack and one pair of Goodyear tires, which actually got the parameters).
Because of this, all tires slip more in the rain.

With this mod, I added these parameters to all default, wheel tuning pack, Goodyear and Michelin DLC tires in the game.
Now, all tires will perform the same way when driving in the rain, although they will have slightly less traction than when driving in the dry.
However, it will still be controllable and not feel like driving on ice.
Wider front tires will offer a bit better traction in wet conditions, but have a significantly higher roll resistance.
Single tires in the back have worse values overall, and I recommend not to use them.

Applies to the following tires:

• All default ATS tires
  
• Wheel Tuning Pack
  
• Goodyear Tires Pack
  
• Michelin Fan Pack

For those of you interested, here are the parameter this mod adds to the different tire types:
