A quick tyre choice can shape the whole race.
Three dry compounds
Soft offers more immediate pace but wears quickly. Hard lasts longer at the cost of pace. Medium sits between them. Circuit characteristics and driver attributes influence how useful that trade is.
Watch the cliff
Wear costs lap time. Beyond the wear cliff, the penalty grows sharply. A tyre that can technically finish the race may still lose more time than a pit stop would cost.
Build a legal plan
Read the compound rule shown in the race interface. Plan the required dry-compound changes before the start and leave room to react to traffic.
Look at both cars
The same tyre does not always suit both drivers at the same moment. Check their wear and gaps separately rather than copying a call automatically.
