*EDIT* Put Economy tires on both ends.  If you mix compounds you get unbelievable oversteer, worse than A310.  :)


For the most part, yeah, depends on the car though. On longer races in any rear wheel drive car, I like a softer compound up front. It gives you more even wear throughout the laps and actually negates handling problems. On the R8 (yeah, I know, rocket car, but I drive it alot), super-hard rear & hard front will give you 4 full laps on Nurburgring with even wear. When all 4 tires go red, you'll be on the last dot of gas, right in front of the pit :)

Yes I have all the driving aids off. I don't know what the simulation tires are, I have: economy, sport, race, dirt and snow.

What I'm talking about on the oversteering is the following. On the rear wheel drives I owned, lastly the Firebird, when I loose grip on the rear wheels in a turn, I accelerate to regain control.

In GT4, you need to brake to regain control. In real life, if I brake I'm up for a fun ride into the ditch.

Moreover, from factory setting, most FR cars will not oversteer when taking a sharp curve with the foot to the floor. Real life counterparts do.

What's what I meant by "funky driving physics".

(I'm doing the missions to drive the Tank ... looks hot):)
Dat jugs bro.

Put economy tires on and they will oversteer plenty.

I think all the cars in GT4 have ABS "installed" on them by the program.  So it makes sense that braking would stabilize things.

As far as using the throttle, I find it responds naturally to balance the car.  I think what might be missing for you is the "seat of pants" feeling that lets you judge how much throttle to use?

Also if you are using the controller it's a big difference between on/off button and a real throttle pedal.

GT350R rocks, it handles very nice and with some upgrades competes well with Modern cars.
