    Hey everyone!

    I'm excited to share my mod called GhostGripTraction — a lightweight system that dynamically adjusts tire grip based on slip angle variation, sudden grip loss, and other subtle driving cues.

    It’s designed to make vehicle handling feel more natural and reactive, especially during transitions like cornering, sliding, or quick load shifts — without drastically altering the default behavior.

    This isn’t a full rewrite of the tire model, but more of an adaptive overlay that enhances responsiveness and delivers more consistent driving feedback, especially under load.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    This mod does not increase overall grip like many others. In fact, you start with slightly less grip than default, but the tire behavior is reworked with compensations to improve weight transfer and control.
    ➤ Faster and smoother weight shifts = better vehicle balance and less unpredictable snap-oversteer.
    ➤ It’s not meant to prevent drifting or force traction — just to make grip behavior more consistent and believable.

    Feedback is welcome

    Is this another vibe coded mod? I am no expert on lua, but the tyreDataSlip.lua is programming gore, and the script itself doesn't seem to do anything

    the mod has been made in collaboration with Zesty_Maple98, the current modder of Tyre Wear and Thermals redux mod
