Sport Drift Tire Physics V1.2
11/20/11 Lowered the optimum tire psi's a bit so that it's more useable on all mods since not all allow high psi over 35.
These physics will ONLY AFFECT the tire physics and will not affect the individual car phsyics whatsoever. See Readme for install instructions. You can use these tires for whatever mod you want to use them on and are good for drifting and touge use. You will get mismatch online if the host is using the default tires though but it's easy to switch back and forth. They replicate the tires they portray perfectly. YOU MAY USE THESE FOR A MOD YOU ARE DEVELOPING IF YOU WANT TO BASE ITS PHYSICS ON THESE TIRES. YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO INCLUDE THESE WITH YOUR MOD! Just please give me some credit for it.
I created these to replicate 5 different tire types. The used tires have about half their tread life left and are close to the wear indicators and have been sitting in a used tire shop for atleast a year making them very very hard compound and very low grip as a result.
"Used Regular Tires" replicates using standard non sports tire. Just basic all season tires that are ~50% treadlife and have been sitting in a used tire shop for over a year. They are hard as rock and offer very little grip and due to their weak construction are very snappy. Grip peaks quickly and falls off quickly and remains fairly even once they fall off making it a good choice for VERY low power cars such as a naturally asperated AE86. You wont be able to get much angle out of them but you can drift easily. They arent the best for high power applications.They have the most grip when cold and will loose grip significantly once overheated (above 140*) Recommended ~ 38PSI cold give or take depending on how heavy the vehicle is.
"Used Falken Ziex ZE512" replicates using a tire I am very familiar with. Out dated and replaced with the Ziex 912 they can only be found used and are quite abundant. They are very hard from aging in a used tire shop but warm up and return to higher grip and lower fall off as expected of a sport tire parameter fairly quickly. They wont loose much grip after overheating (above 160*) Reccomended ~ 35psi cold depending on vehicle wieght.
Both used tires will wear only slightly faster than a new tire as even though they are half worn they are harder compound and more resiliant to heat. TOUGE USE IS NOT RECOMMENDED
"Falken Ziex ZE912" The updated version of the 512 in new condition. Falken tires will hold their high grip from the soft rubber up untill about 50% tread life when the rubber compound begins to harden. Expect a quick fall off in grip at 50% wear. Will have alot more grip cold compaired to the used version and will fall off only slightly more when overheated.(above 167*) Recommended ~ 34psi cold. This tire is good for LOW TO MEDIUM POWERED drift cars. Or for touge runs or racing on any car if you do not intend to drift
"Toyo Proxes R1R" A new super sports tire of soft compound. Wears evenly till the chords. These tires will loose alot of grip when cold and wont loose much grip when overheated (above 186*) Recommended ~ 31psi cold. This is a good tire for MEDIUM to HIGH powered drift cars.Also very good Touge tire.
"Falken Azenis RT615K" A new super sports tire of soft compound. Wear is similar to 912's but faster because they are softer. These tires will have the most grip loss when cold and fall off the least when overheated (above 190*) Recommended ~ 32psi cold. These are good for MEDIUM to HIGH powered drift cars ONLY or the best touge tire.
The differences between the Proxes and Azenis is small, falken has slightly more grip esp in acceleration/braking and don't get hot quite as quickly but they are flemsier and have softer sidewalls making them not as tight feeling and loose grip quicker under load.
