silly question maybe but best way to warm tyres???

i seem to be weaving for a ages for minimal gain??

For rear wheels: some tyre spin.

For front wheels: weave.

If your tyres are taking more than two laps to get up to full operating temperature, your tyre pressures are too high or your compound selection is wrong.

They heat faster if you slide/spin them.

Understeer helps to warm the fronts (don't use brakes, you'll just lock the wheels and flatspot the tires), oversteer and lots of throttle warms the rears.

Just driving laps at race pace is usually sufficient.

weaving is usually best to clean the tires.

long sweeping turns are best to warm the tires up, such as a corner. Just drive the course a bit slower than race pace(to compensate for cold tires) and they should warm up in a lap or so, depending on the setup.

Is that a R8 LMP1 in your avatar?

looks like a Peugeot 907 lmp1

How is that relevent?

for rears.. just weave and lots of throttle.
for fronts just push the car into a corner really fast.. or just go really fast and turn full lock really quick. That second one doesn't work so well in some cars though

Weaving is near useless and is really only good for keeping the clag off the tires, which we don't have in LFS. The best way is to alternate sliding the rear and the fronts in corners. Slide the rear with power, obviously, slide the fronts with sharp, exaggerated steering input to induce terminal understeer.

On straights, accelerate then brake hard.

If this was real life I'd tell you to take at least 2 laps of slow (7/10ths) running to acclimate the compound on a new set, but we don't have to worry about that in games. Just drive the balls off it till the screen is green.
