In addition, tires wear unrealistically compared with the number of miles driven by actual truck drivers. I have/had a profile with a truck over 12k miles, and the tires were showing over 50% damage (might have been 70% if memory serves).
Information on trucking industry websites indicates real tires last at least 100k miles, obviously if a number of factors are in place.
At the least, the game's tire life should be extended to 50k miles, but in an ideal world, the tires would need to be replaced at that time period.
The game already has tire shops (unused), and many irl mechanic shops do tires as well.
- Driver reaches max tire life
- Driver tires show 100% damage
- Driver sees warning message that tires need replacement
- Driver visits repair shop and buys set of new tires
- Tire damage is reset to 0%
