NASCAR tyre wear

Does anyone know to what extent the AI cars in NASCAR suffer from tyre wear. I often find myself having to slow down to make my tyres last. I can often manage to do this while blocking all the following cars. When I slow the pace like this do the AI cars also benefit from reduced tyre wear or is the logic simpler than that. Also I find the AI cars often pit as soon as we're close enough to the finish to get there on a tank full. Whereas I'll hold out longer so my last set of tyres won't be worn out by running a full tanks worth of miles, does this cause them to have wrecked tyres at the finish or not?. Steve.

I had asked Papyrus about this and they said that the AI cars do suffer tyre wear, but at a much less rate than the human driven car. This was said to be an "evening out" factor. -- **************************** Michael E.
