Do the tyre wear cheats even work?
Yesterday, when I tried it, it all looked good, but only looked good. I mean, I selected 0% tyre wear for player and 200% for AI. Even though it stayed 0% for me all the time on the display, it felt like the tyres go off pretty quick. How I know it? I was running in clean air for about 6 laps on Hypers, The time difference was about 2.5 seconds (between 2nd lap on those tyres (fastest lap) and 6th lap (last full lap on those tyres), before I pit for new ones). I didn't make any major mistakes in those laps that would cost 2,5 seconds or even a second. Also the fuel and ERS stayed the same (because I activated cheats so I can run rich mix and hotlap all the time. And knowing that the car get's lighter with each lap as the fuel burns off, those hypers should've done fastest lap after fastest lap.
Also - I don't know how much 200% wear affects the AI, but they didn't seem to do more stops than usual.
Is there a possibility that it only shows on display that it's 0%, but the tyres actually go off? And shouldn't AI make at least 1 extra pitstop on 200% wear rate or get more punctures? I hope I explained so you'd understand what I mean.
