something wrong with the tires? (build 151002)

hi..just updated to 151002 and played around with the car scenarios

seems the narrower the tires, the higher the offroad values get (until the tire blows)

oh and it seems when the drivetrain is on 4x4, the power distribution is stuck at 0F/100R

this is normal? thanks

Everything there is normal, 4x4 is NOT AWD, you normally drive in RWD configuration so it calculates with that, 4x4 is only an offroad booster. Also, skinny tires generally are much better for offroad and not big fat tires.

I think reducing the rim diameter also helps with offroad - it might be an aspect ratio thing.

High profile gives the tire tread more freedom to do its job. That is why lowering the pressure can boost offroad grip with as much as 50%.

The offroad bonus is based on aspect ratio, which means that skinnier tires give a better bonus.
