What this mod does

ATS Tire Stats (formerly “ATS Default Tire Stats”), by Spud, brings back something American Truck Simulator lacks: different stats for each tire type, ETS2-style. In the base game it doesn’t matter which tire you pick; with this mod each one has pros and cons.

What it adds

Three properties: rolling resistance, wet grip and noise. The three basic tire types end up like this:

  • Dynamix (level 0): all-round and balanced, equal to or better than ETS2’s stock tires.
  • Roadmaster (level 5): very low rolling resistance, but worse in the rain.
  • Vortex (level 5): more rolling resistance, better traction in wet and cold conditions.

Wheel Tuning Pack

Version 2.0 adds support for the Wheel Tuning Pack DLC, only if you own it: the Heavy Duty tires give the best wet grip with the worst rolling resistance, and the wide and super single tires sit between their dual equivalents and the regular ones. It doesn’t touch the tires from the Goodyear and Michelin packs.

Compatibility and issues

Any mod that edits tire data will probably conflict with this one. The trailer super singles have an abnormally small diameter and may cause glitches. The latest update is from March 2026 (1.58), but the author says it should work on any version as long as SCS doesn’t change the tire system.
