2009 Rims & Tyres by SkaningeN----------------------------------
Here is a 2009 tyreset that has it's roots the fantastic years of 2005 to 2009.
With
Enzojz and
Lee's great talent for modding GP4 back then, I've just modernized their
work a bit to bring you an updated 2009 tyreset.
This might feel a little unnecessary update since this was during the 2 year era of ugly
wheelcovers. But you know me, I can't resist. Also, some versions of these cars did not have
wheelcovers so you might still see the rims every now and then.
This set only uses one shape as Bridgestone was sole tyre supplier in 2009.
It also contains individual rims for each team of the 2009 season
I can't say they are 100% accurate, I've only gone for the approach to make each team has "realistic" rims.
What I've done it really not that much. It's been a copy-paste work for the most part, with a little painting and
and minor changes the only work being done besides naming the files and make it compliant with the modern GP4 we
know today. This work is entirely
Enzojz and
Lee, don't forget that if you decide to use these files.
This set also brings 2 options for dry slicks:
Hard (Regular)
Soft (Green stripe on the tyrewall)
This mean a different approach if you want to mix and match. Instead of changing the threads, you change the rimtexture
for each team.
Despite it's age, these 2D rims still looks amazing to me. You might not agree, but then again as
Lee used to say...
If you don't like them, don't use them!

Big thanks to:
Enzojz: Making these tyreshapes and original textures that stood the test of time!
Lee: Improved on the tyretextures to make them look even better!
Without their basework, I would not be able to share this with you. Remember that!
Also, of course, to the rest of the GP4 community on your effort to keep this game alive!
