Guide to tyres in Assetto Corsa Rally
Tyres are one of the most crucial aspects in your car setup in Assetto Corsa Rally. The game offers two countries, Alsace and Wales, each with its own set of stages and variations. While generic tyre setups can help you finish the race, custom setups help you finish with a better chance of victory.
Here are the recommended tire setups for Alsace and Wales in Assetto Corsa Rally:
Wales
Wales requires a grip-heavy setup to navigate the gravel (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming ||Supernova Games Studios)Wales is known for its challenging gravel stages amidst rolling hills and dense forests. The sharp turns and loose traction, paired with the unpredictable weather, require a grip-heavy and balanced setup.
Here's the best setup for Wales based on the different stages/conditions:
| Tyre Type | Best conditions | Result | Recommendations |
| Soft Gravel Tyres | Short, damp stages; cool weather | Maximum grip on muddy or damp gravel, but wears quickly | Best to use when stages are under 6 km or rain is likely. Great for sharp traction in wet stages in Hafren North |
| Medium Gravel Tyres | Recommended for mixed or long stages; Best during moderate temperatures | Balanced wear and traction; good all-rounder for most stages in Hafren North and South | Ideal default for Wales if conditions vary or you’re running back-to-back stages. Best for Rally weekends |
| Hard Gravel Tyres | Use only for long endurance stages or in dry compact gravel | Reduced grip on the loose top layer, but lasts the full rally without significant degradation or impact on traction. | Use for long events or if your tyre wear is realistic in-game. Not recommended for Time Attacks |
Alsace
Alsace requires a precise mix of traction and speed over the tarmac surface (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Supernova Games Studios)Alsace is known for its iconic asphalt roads and vineyard landscapes that offer a challenging drive due to the unpredictable grip levels and precise driving through urban chicanes. It requires precision control that allows for improved braking and quick maneuverability
Here's the best setup for Vallee De Munster and Saverne based on the different stages/conditions:
| Tyre Type | Best Conditions | Result | Recommendations |
| Soft Tarmac Tyres | Best to use during cold or wet conditions. Also great for short technical stages or Time Attacks | Best initial grip and high corner speed | Best to use when temperatures are low (<15°C) or the stage is short (<5 km). |
| Medium Tarmac Tyres | Use when the forecast predicts mixed dry/wet conditions or during multi-stage runs at Rallies | Balanced performance with gradual wear that ensures persistence across multiple special stages | Recommended default for stages in Alsace since it handles long rallies well. |
| Hard Tarmac Tyres | Use when during hot and dry weather. Recommended for long stages or multiple special stages. Best not to use during Time Attacks | Slightly less grip but very stable across multi-stage performance without the need to depend on the Service Park | Perfect for multi-stage runs where wear is critical. |
| Wet Tarmac Tyres | Use only during heavy rain and standing water | Perfect for draining water efficiently, but fragile when dry. Best not to use if the forecast tends towards dry | Only use when rain is confirmed. If used during dry weather, it overheats and slides, massively reducing grip and stability |
Generic setup based on rally stage length
This generic format is a great universal setup for most races (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming || Supernova Games Studios)If you want to use a generic tyre setup based on stage length or just for free practice and Time attacks, you can follow this universal guide. While it may not give you the performance like the custom setups above, it is enough to get you through the finish line.
Here's a setup based on rally stage length/stage:
| Stage Length | Recommended Tyre | Result |
| <5 km | Soft compound | Provides Maximum grip with minimal wear penalty |
| 5–10 km | Medium compound | Balanced handling that is an all-rounder for most conditions |
| 10+ km or Multi-Stage/Special stages | Hard compound | Endurance and consistency across longer tracks and multi-stage days |
