🛞 Domestic Tyre Simulation

Domestic Tyre Simulation (DTS) is an advanced tyre simulation mod for BeamNG.drive, designed to make tyre behaviour more dynamic, realistic and enjoyable.

The mod is currently a work in progress, and our testers have been putting it through its paces. Here's a closer look at what DTS brings to the game! 👇

🌡️ Tyre Temperature

Every tyre individually simulates inner, middle and outer tread temperatures, along with a core temperature that heats up and cools down more slowly.

• Sliding, rolling and braking generate heat.

• Air and road contact cool the tyres.

• Incorrect camber or pressure creates uneven heating across the tread.

• Monitor temperature differences in real time using the HUD.

💨 Dynamic Tyre Pressure

Tyre pressure changes naturally based on the air temperature inside the tyre.

• Pressure increases as the tyre heats up.

• Pressure decreases as the tyre cools down.

• Excessive pressure can eventually cause a tyre burst.

🏁 Dynamic Grip & Handling

Grip is no longer just a fixed value. It continuously adapts to the tyre's condition.

• Cold tyres provide slightly less grip until they reach operating temperature.

• Each tyre type has its own optimal grip temperature.

• Tyre pressure and tread wear directly affect available grip.

• Progressive breakaway makes grip loss more gradual rather than instantaneous, allowing for more predictable slides and corrections.

Choose between three handling presets:

• Raw – More direct and unforgiving.

• Realistic – Balanced, natural grip transitions.

• Forgiving – Smoother, easier-to-control slides.

🛞 Tyre Types & Compounds

DTS supports multiple tyre categories, each with its own characteristics:

Road · Sport · Semi-Slick · Slick · Rally · Drift

Additional compound options include:

• Slick: Super Soft / Soft / Medium / Hard

• Rally: Tarmac / Gravel

Auto Mode automatically detects the tyres equipped on your vehicle and selects the appropriate simulation model.

📉 Tyre Wear & Heat Damage

Tyres gradually wear depending on how you drive and the surfaces you drive on.

• Individual tread-zone wear across the inner, middle and outer sections.

• Aggressive driving and overheating can cause heat damage.

• Different surfaces produce different wear rates.

• Asphalt causes significantly more wear than gravel, dirt, grass or snow.

• Tyre wear affects grip and overall performance.

🚧 DTS is still in development!

We're actively testing and refining the simulation to deliver a better driving experience. Features and behaviour may change as development progresses.
