How does tire status work

i looked at the blogs but I don’t see an explanation on how the tire temps and wear work. I see the brake disc temps are the little areas on the inside but what do the bars mean on the tire?

Is that temp or wear or both?

 

The 3 bars for each tyre are I M O (Inside, Middle, Outside) they expand and contract based on tyre PSI and change colour based on tyre temperature. Aim to get all 3 bars the same height. If the center bar is high it means your tyre is overinflated and visa versa.

 

Awesome. Thanks

 

And when it comes to tyre pressure, what is the ideal value? Is there a valid number for all cars, or does it vary depending on the car you choose?

 

Tire pressure depends on car, setup, track temp, track condition, brake temp, camber,... Use the practice sessions to figure out good ballparks. Generally,lower track temp means higher pressure. Choose pressure for when you want the tires to come in, so higher for qually, lower for race depending how far into the stint you want the tires at their optimum, keeping in mind that as they wear and fuel drops, temps tend to come down, unless you don't adjust your technique and overdrive. Then there is the weather forecast...enjoy balancing all that

 

I always aim for 28psi hot pressures on all four corners. So I have a baseline setup, and save setups with different pressures with a track temp in the filename so I have easy access to suitable setups.

 

Hopefully the setup notes will be turned on soon.
