All depends on how you drive wink2.gif

Drive fast and brutal, using all the grip the tires offer, will obviously wear them out

Drive with caution at a high enough pace to win the race (ryhme not intended), and they will last a little bit longer

Its really up to you how fast the tires wear, you just gotta find the right pace for yourself, you can be easy on the accelerator, or you can change your line to ease the twisting burden on the tires, there's lots of ways to do it

Yes you can extend tire wear, it is all about the strain you put on them.
More strain, quicker tire wear, same with the fuel you got.
Corner entry speed is one place where tires can wear out quickly, lower the speed and they will last longer.
The more wheel you have to apply in a corner the more tire wear you will be having.

Another good tip to squize that extra out of the tires is not to brake or accelerate and turn at the same time, however the pace will lower significantly when doing that however.

I still remember in the stock car endurance race in GT3.
I drove a Viper GTS on racing rubber super hard compound and I was battling an RX-7.
It turned into a tire wear battle, I sweared I wasn't going to pit before he did and the race developed as such.
Unless my memory is off we ran approx 30 or so laps before pitting, but my tires was pretty shot after that, but it took a lot of tire preservation skill to get it right.

Well, soft tires wear much more easily worn out than hard tires. Also, the wheels that drive the car also wear the tires out more quickly than the wheels that are just there to hold up the rear or turn the front. So, as a suggestion, give the drive wheels a hard set of tires and the other wheels will get some soft compound tires. But be aware that a hard set at the rear and soft set at the front might bring you a bit of oversteer, which isn't really a bad thing for me anyway. wink2.gif But hard tires at the front and soft tires at the back will bring understeer, which is a bad thing for me. tongue.gif

Usually, I tend to go on the gas at half power in the corners, and probably 3/4 gas on a short straight. This gives the tyres less strain acceleration does to it. On a long straightaway, full blast, no choice. You gotta chase them or they'll leave you in the dust if you're in the pack. But if you're way far ahead, pace yourself, go a bit slower and average your time. The tyres will last longer. Of course, there are times that I would just go haywire and gain a huge ass lead. Before I change the tyres.

That works as well, but you can also do rev limiting if you drive a manual gearbox, shifting up earlier and thus limiting power.
I used to do that in GT3 when driving Special Stage Route 11 with the 787B.
