All tires? Or just the RF tire? What's the ambient temperature at the track? In any case, there's a good chance you are driving to hard, especially if you just bought the game. Do you get a lot of tire squeal in the corners? Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

I am suffering from the same problem, I do squeal in the corners but am just following the AI cars at their speeds, so I don't see why I can't do same speed, but my RF heats up to the 250 range and that tire wears out in no time, course if I could stay off the wall maybe it would matter more that my tires don't last!

Actualy Greg, you're probably getting into the wall beacause at that temp the sim *** is melting off your tire and it's like driving on an ice cube.

Start by softening the RF shock and increasing the RF tire pressure. You'll probably have to play around with weight jacking and the RR shock/tire pressure to balance the car out again. Chances are if the RF is overheating, but none of the other tires are getting that hot, you're fighting a serious push condition. Brake earlier and more gently going into the corners, this will reduce the amount of weight shifted to the RF which will help keep the temp down. Try to late apex the corners so you don't have to use so much wheel lock to keep the car off the wall coming off the corners. Richmond, N. Wilkesboro, Martinsville, Loudon, and Phoenix are all tracks where getting a good line off the corner is more important than pure corner speed. Sometimes just easing up a tiny bit in the corners will actually get you better lap times and save your right side tires at the same time.
