So far I have the following things on the list (front and rear tyre wear are calculated independently):
- camber
- under-/oversteer factor (understeer affects front wheels more, oversteer rear wheels)
- tyre compound
- wheelspin stat or maybe tyre grip compared to actual transmitted forces for driven wheels
- overall driveability (tameness vs. sportiness)
The wheel load stat says if tyres lose contact to the ground in the moose test, so this one is not really suited for tyre wear calculations.
Further suggestions are welcome!
