Tires!!!

I pit way too much on endurance races. Is it the cars too powerful or do I need super hard tires. I use hard and medium now. Whats the use in soft tires if they only last 3 laps. (3 lap races I know, but I'm past those races now) I'm sure my drivng style can contribute to earl tire wear but I even use B spec mode on the SLOW setting and doesn't prolong the life of my tires.

Don't use the racing tires. Use Sports tires, and if it's a rear wheel drive use the S1(hard) on the rear tires and S2(medium) or S3(Soft) on the front tires. I had them on a CLK-GTR and they'd last around 7 laps on the Nurburg. Lap times are slower but not by too much and you should still whoop up on other cars.

Thanks Ill try that, it never dawned on me to get "worse" tires! Go slower to go faster.
