What Driver Stat Effects Tire Usage?

I've noticed that my one driver is much better at conserving tires than the other. What stat category effects that? Height? Weight? Talent? Knowledge?

I find it slightly annoying that I need to run two completely different tire strategies.

I don't know myself, but I suspect it could be something under the Mental category.

I'll see if James Greer has any ideas.

A short driver comparison:

Lower talent, slight better driving abilities, little lower mental stats and lower in stamina.

So, you haven't told, but I would say that [url="https://igpmanager.com/app/d=driver&id=3404547"]Stepan Putin[/url] is the one who conserves better his tires.
I think it has to be related to talent, because it's only skill I can see a huge difference.


Could you tell us how many is this consumption difference at any track?

The hard stats are not that much, but the heat difference means that Nikita Yegupov must use a lower push level for longer. Probably 1.5 laps longer, but that's just a "feel" number.

At China Nikita Yegupov had 37% soft tires (laps 19-28) while Stepan Putin had 39% soft tires (laps 18-27). (screenshots)

I have noticed higher talent drivers are more stable on tire temps, ie, they don't spike easily when you push. I might be wrong but I believe it does have a tiny effect.
