I've just started out here in LFS by trying to get to know the slower cars on Blackwood GP track (as that is what im most familiar with, since the demo) and getting decent times. What i'm curious about is the setups used... Most of the faster laptimes are set with cars using the Hybrid tires (as they have better grip?) either on front, back or both sets of wheel. Now to my question... Is this "proper" tuning as per racing rules or do one have to change the tires for racing? I'm curious as I'm still running my hotlaps on standard "Road Normal" tires.

g'day fellow racers. I'm gridghost, from sweden and not THAT new to LFS as i've played around w the Demo for some time. But now i'm a fullfledged owner of the game (S2) and im looking forward to getting my butt kicked ingame whenever i get the time to race.
