I always assumed, for wet weather, under the first mark normal racing tires would be fine, between the marks, IMs would be optimal, and above the second mark wets would be optimal. But this was just an assumption. It’s nice that you tested this.
I'm very glad you made this video. I've been playing wet tire selections totally by chance. You have confirmed what has worked best for me after many frustrating hours of practice.
Hello, great video! A few comments, if I may. I have been experimenting with the big money races too and here is what I found: At Spa and Le Mans the rain mostly comes down in the second third of the race. At Le Mans I have seen the rain at the end of lap 2 and also 2-3 minutes into lap 3. I always use IM tires instead of W for the rest of the race and conserve them as much as possible by driving close to the guardrails and generally chosing wet parts of the track. The wet meter helps with that. If you keep driving on the dry parts the IMs won't last even 2 laps. For me it is mostly 3/2/2 laps, 3 on RHs and the rest on IMs. Second, full wet tires only seem to give you an advantage when the wet meter is in the upper third. That happens frequently at the big money race at Spa. However I have had good results with IMs as well since you don't need to immediately pit once the track dries up. You do need to brake earlier and pay more attention but the AI doesn't seem to like rain at all, so it's all good. One could simplify the tire issue by saying lower third of the wet meter, use slicks, middle third, use IMs, upper third, use Ws, as a rule of thumb. Third, maybe I'm just a bad driver who hasn't upgraded to a sim rig yet, but my experience with a drying track is this: change to RHs or any other slicks and get just one wheel on a wet part of the track, you'll end up in the kitty litter or slam into the guard rail. It works best for me to finish Le Mans and Spa on IMs. Again, great vid and thank you!
Thanks man. I think you’ve got a great handle on what tires are needed for each conditions 👍🏻 You’re especially correct on a track with a drying line. It’s something that I’ve been trying to find a way to test. On the racing line. Dry tires are what is needed. But the margin for error is so narrow and usually ends up with a big crash!
Your "Third" has nothing to do with a "sim rig" it will happen with that one just as much because physics. I'm getting around relatively well with my PS4 controller, having nearly reached a DR of B...... so you don't need a sim rig to play well. You only have to be able to use well what you have.
I've tried that, accidentally. I had bought a car and started with sports, then upgraded to hards... I was running a dynamic weather race and realized I hadn't bought any wet weather tire, so I tried the old sports. They're better than slicks, but are pretty slippery in heavy wet conditions. They might suffice in place of intermediates, but I think they're slower overall.
I worked out from racing in 24 hour lamans, those intermediates wear fast when the rain meter is below the first mark. The only time I've ever use wets is on the 1 hour spa race, simply because it can rain hard for 30 minutes of that race, then u can swap to intermediates to finish the race. Wet tyres are a waste of time on 24hour lamans simply because the track dries out too fast
Great video Chris...i do love some GT7 testing and i think your findings show the grip model is quite realistic in what tyres are best for which situations....theres definitely, as you know, some pretty deep complexity to the tyres in GT7.
personally I hate both inter & wet tyres. my poor g29 feels like it's missing feedback & I don't get any confidence while using them, but in wet conditions, I always go with inters even if the rain meter is full, I just turn on tc and cs assistance + massive short shifting - I feel they provide same grip but are faster. maybe on direct drive wheel people might be able to note a bigger difference.
Yeah. I think when grinding against AI the safety of inters vs losing a few seconds a lap if it’s not perfect conditions is probably still worth inters. 👍🏻
Yeah, when it gets to 1 bar of rain or more on slicks, you MUST be in manual mode to short shift. And you even at that are limited at 1.1 bar to around 120mph in a Gr.4, and 1.5bar down to 80mph-ish tops. I've done a ton of rain driving in game, so gotten fairly solid at reading when to get what tires. And yeah, as soon as the bar is under 1, slicks are faster.
Personally, I will drive on the wet parts in the straights to save tyres if I am still running IM or W tyres after the rain and drying up, or the radar shows it's going back to rain maybe in 2,3laps times to make my pit stops window wider. It does help, I have been doing it in Spa and Le Mans I guess it's like how racing drivers sometimes cool down their tyres, not sure, I am not a pro
great GT7 race sim channel, nice to see an authentic reliable channel here. interesting topic, if you invite feedback on topics what about comparing certain cars on certain tracks where having (for example) RH on the front and RS on the back (or vice versa) for non-online formal racing (obviously not for world championships etc) to compare handling characteristics and the impact this does have (both better and worse depending of course on specific car, specific track, conditions, whether car is FR/FF/MR etc i remember the X-Bow on certain race tracks had a significant gain in handling in many weather conditions by doing this! i wanted to explore that myself further at some point but too busy with the current world championships manufacturers cup etc to do this... keep up the great work mate!

For campaign wet races at least its usually optimal to run hards, since you can max out the pp and you'll have to switch to inters anyway. The tyre wear is very significant because wets start to degrade quicker when you get to the track transitioning from wet to dry. The inters in the dry are not terribly slower than the hards, but the wets never get there because they obliterate themselves before the track loses all the accumulated water. This forces a pit stop where on inters you can just about stick it out until it's safe for hards. There are usually 2 laps max with full wet conditions in the SPA 1 hour for example. It's never worth going to full wets for those laps.
Very glad that PD changed how the intermediate wets would hydroplane like you were racing on ice at anything over 130mph whenever the track's wetness meter would even barely tick over into the 3rd portion of the bar. That used to make the 1 hour spa race a pain. Not to mention how inaccurate the weather radar used to be too.
remember when console cost 299$ and gt disk cost 39$ with only dualshock i watch your video to learn about gt7 but i dont have 1000$ to put in game this is the cost off my summer tire 225 40 18 for my corolla hatch anyway good video to learn about the game
Problem is with slicks, you should be sliding with 1/3 of the track being wet, esp at low speed corners where downforce is non existent, yet you are cruising along like there is no water.
I honestly think it depends on what the weather is going to do, how long the lap times are, and the car you are using. The top money maker in 60 mins is Le Mans in the World Touring Cup 700. You can run 2 of these in an hour and with a clean race bonus on each, earn more than the 60 min race with a clean race bonus. Sardenga is easier to do, you can typically complete it 5 mins quicker, and has no rain. However, you are still only doing 2 of these in an hour and will be a couple hundred thousand less in rewards in the same timeframe. Problem with the WTC 700 is the rain pattern and frequency is very inconsistent and the lap times are over 4 mins. If you put the wrong tires on you are either burning them up in 1 lap or your car is all over the place. Intermediates are typically your best choice not just because of how they perform in the wet but because often times it may only rain on one part of the track leaving the other parts dry or it may only briefly rain and a dry line starts to appear shortly after. If you put wets on, you’ll burn them up before you can pit again and the handling with wets is atrocious. Flip side, you may also get heavy rain for 2 laps an Intermediates will slow you down in heavy rain. For that race specifically, it will typically start raining around lap 3. On average, the rain isn’t heavy, so watch your weather radar, if rain starts rolling in, pit at the end of lap 3, swap to intermediates, and pray the track stays a little wet for the rest of the race. If not, you’ll have to pit again and put racing slicks back on. On any other track I’d say it depends purely on how heavy it rains. In heavy rain, wets outperform intermediates. If on a smaller track, you can pit more often to adjust to the track condition. Not the case on WTC 700
@@TheSilverShadow17that’s why I just run the Honda Beat for 30 laps at Daytona against Tomahawks when I’m just grinding creds. Clean race is 639k and can be done at almost 20 mins. Can always knock a couple of laps off to hit 30 mins but payout slightly lower. Oh and bonus if you change steering to motion sense on the controller, rubberband the right trigger, and prop up the controller on a magazine you can walk away and come back 30 mins later. I run my Honda Beat AFK on this track all day while I’m working from home. Come back every 30 mins, click a few buttons and run it again.
Great video as always good sir. But I noticed you sound a little under the weather bro might I suggest some citrus fruit or even some lemon 🍋 and tea with honey. Anytime I get sick vitamin c is always my go to or anything with zinc, cheers mate hope you get well soon.
I would have loved to see the time difference when the meter was just below the top mark (Full Wets mark). It is good to see that IM's in the full wet zone is slower but unless it is in the full wet zone I use IM thinking that just under the full wets mark IM's would be faster
Yeah it’s hard to get track conditions to a specific point. But through other driving and testing I think IMs would work well up to the point of dark blue and standing water 👍🏻
@@Doughtinator When I re-read my comment I realised it didn't say what I meant but I see you understood, What I tried to say was 'when the meter goes into the full wet zone only for a short time'
Brilliant video for information. I was wondering Iv heard people bleating on about “cold tyres” when they put stop etc but surely there is no info on this on screen to tell us if cold tyres do make a difference. I would say no (unlike ACC) but what’s ur view ? Also when coming out a sand trap , does it affect grip ?
Just watched it . I’m gobsmacked it’s that complex and tbh I’m glad it is as it puts it on par with ACC . I will eat humble pie now when mates bleat on about it and that other internet sensation Rory . Keep up the good work
only watch his, because I'm bored, but I always use intermediate wet, so I can still have some grip and I still use them even for longer after the rain stops. But if the track it's more than 85% wet, then the grip not gonna work the same like the normal wet tires
My problem is when it rains very hard I assume Wet Tyres are a must however IM Tyres are fine so can you tell rain wise how it feels what tyre you actually need to use?
Do you think the grip and wear change like a light switch between the parts of the wetness meter? Do the IMs wear out super fast if it’s right below the line but don’t wear much at all if the meter is just over the line into the middle third?
Find wet lines on the track, you can cool the IM and W tires with them. It will wear less, can use them longer and switch later to slicks with safer conditions (dryer kirbs).
Yeah I think it’s a progressive scale. The scale is also very dynamic when the weather is set to be more normal and not fixed weather as I was testing. The wetness changes through the whole track.
Thank you for the work you've put into this video, it is very helpful indeed, i have 2 questions following: 1) If the track is drying out but only in the racing line path and the indicator is about in the 1st third, is it worth risking with the slicks or with the inters? 2) Does the wet racing line exist in gt7? Could you carry out a test for that? Because i think it'll be very helpful
some great questions. when the track has a dry line it can be VERY dangerous on dry tires if you have to go off line. its MUCH safer to stay on an IM tire as long as you can. its not the fastest, but its certainly the safest! it does! a friend of the channel tested this very recently, this video is worth a watch: ruclips.net/video/mQPFU4uubqs/видео.htmlsi=PAJHu0DL7m68Yd6k

Do you think the grip and wear change like a light switch between the parts of the wetness meter? Do the IMs wear out super fast if it’s right below the line but don’t wear much at all if the meter is just over the line into the middle third?
As realistic as most of GT is, there is probably some progression between zones
Find wet lines on the track, you can cool the IM and W tires with them. It will wear less, can use them longer and switch later to slicks with safer conditions (dryer kirbs).

Does downforce affect tyre wear?
Typically anything that slides tires increases tire wear. So in theory. More downforce means less sliding and less tire wear.
@@Doughtinator but downforce is like weight on the car and a heavier car will burn tyres quicker right?
@user-qk8hj5ut1i it’s only heavier because of downforce. It’s not heavier because of weight which is the thing that kills tires in corners.
