I get a puncture from pushing the tyres 2-3 more laps than their expected life!?

Recommended Posts

As said in the title, in both my first two races in my career mode, I have gotten a puncture after pushing the tyres only 2-3 laps more then their expected life. I don't think this is right as in real life we often see drivers push the limit on tyre wear, in order to gain a few places in the pitting stages of the race.

Good to know there are punctures this year from wear.  In 2013 I could drive forever on a set of tires (although the grip went out).

In the controls menu it is called 'info' just set that as a button. It's just like the one from the previous games.

Just a little too easy at the moment. Has ruined my career.

Wish I had that option hepefully it will be added 
I had trouble finding it, as it is near the bottom of the controls page, but it wouldn't let me scroll down until I clicked create custom setup.

It was the same situation with F1 2014 and it happened to me a few times to get a puncture after being too rough with the tyres when the indicator color was dark Brown...The info button is available for sure and you have to program it like Miniman7007 wrote.
