F1 2011 what are the numbered two circles around the tyres in the garrage menu?

hi guys, when choosing you tyres and viewing them in 2010 they showed one ring with an amount worn out.

what do the new two rings and numbers mean?

cheers

b.t.w. the games great really isn't it? loved racing 50% at india yesterday, starting on primes in my merc and chasing and passing vettel on the last lap as he ws on primes then, only for me to run out of fuel 2 corners from the line!! - loved it.

Outer ring and inner ring together adds to a whole number. That's the approximate number of laps the tire will last. Outer ring is the outer layer of the tire which provides the best grip.

If you qualify in less than 100% race length, these numbers gets reduced proportionately and you will waste that outer layer on the out lap. You have to qualify 100% length to reap the benefit.
