You go to the car in question, right click, select replace tyres, drag and drop the tyres you want in the left column, save it

I believe this only works with tires that belong to existing cars not new packs downloaded e.g. from RD?

If not then I've just wasted a week making a new windows app to do this

it will be ready soon.

Oh, I misread your question, I thought you were talking about the tyre physics.
Sorry

Here's what I'm up to if you're interested...

Bit more progress on the tire app. Changed the colours around and I think it looks better now. Spent quite a lot of time fiddling about trying to figure out how to change the colours of certain elements of the UI as it's not straightforward. I've now got it working end to end again though which is the first time since re-doing it in this nicer looking style of application:

As you can see I added the SF70 just to check/prove it will work with other cars as there is a tire pack for it. Problem is though that for Yellow/Soft you currently have to delete the 2 texture files, so I'll need to figure out how to do that (which will likely mean a change of rights to admin), so it's unlikely to be 'supported' any time soon.
Also as you can see it now brings in the 'livery' image for each skin too
To do before release:

Get it to save settings & read supported car list from a file.

Add an option to make tires the same for all skins.

Also if anyone has a configuration where AC (or any game for that matter) is installed in a different folder (e.g. on a different drive) from the main steam install folder, please give me a PM as I need to include detection for this sort of setup.
