    S7, S8, S9 I am assuming are soft, medium, hard tires. What is/are the P tires? {I would guess rain, but my one forary in the wet with them ended at the end of pit lane.}

    Some mods actual list what each compound is under the notes under the car setup. I know the URD mods have this notation; I haven't checked the GT3 pack.

    I understand the reasoning behind adding soft, medium, hard (we actually did so first, in our early VEC edits). But in reality, eventhough their rubber properties do reflect this, there are many other differences which do not - maybe this is why, ofcause I can't know for sure.

    Qualified guess, I'd say... This is from a well know manufacturer:

    thanks all. The wet handling seemed to get worse once I put the P's on. That is why I was curious. I'll have to test some more. Thanks everyone. lotto: 1000 : Dave 0.!

    I haven't checked myself wet tires but is certainly an issue to be looked at.
