INTRODUCTION
Why a guide devoted specifically to tires in one specific
game? As a recent Michelin commercial (shown in the States)
states, the tires are the only safety features on the road
which actually TOUCH the road. Implicit in this commercial
is the message that special care must be given to tires. In
the case of Michelin, this means that choosing Michelin tires
is far safer than choosing any other brand of tires (note
that this series of commercials has been running since LONG
before the Firestone/Ford controversy erupted in 2000).
In the case of Gran Turismo 3, this same implicit message –
that the tires are the only safety features on the road which
actually TOUCH the road – means that special care must be
given to the tires to keep them from wearing out too quickly.
This is especially important given that the only reason to
enter Pit Lane in GT3 is to change tires – fuel, damage
repair, etc., are not at issue in GT3.
Of course, there are instances where tire wear is never an
issue. None of the Arcade Mode races use tire wear, unless
you specifically induce Professional League races (codes
available elsewhere). Similarly, the Beginner races and some
Amateur races are simply too short for tire wear to become an
issue. Tire wear is also not involved in any of the Rally
races, as – again – those races are too short for tire wear
to become a factor. Many Amateur and ALL Professional and
Endurance races, however, do include tire wear as one of the
features of each race.
TIRE SELECTION
Tire selection is very important. This is the first variable
in race performance (if based on tires alone).
For non-racing cars intended for mundane street use, Normal
tires are standard issue. While Normal tires may work well
