Hey dude, great tool, I am Driving a F1 car at the moment, interested to know what you mean in "hints" by Low camber, High pressures etc.. in context. Do you mean the camber is currently too low? or to lower it? as a tip? , and with lower, I assume a more negative value would be me lowering it more.. also same with tyre pressures , the pressures here are too high potentially?
I read somewhere that IF M > I + O / 2 then we would have potentially less of a contact patch as the I & O of tyre do not contact the road surface as often as they should due to over inflation. This makes sense that it should be a linear relationship to temp, I understand the theory, just wanted to know how you are calculating these "hints" in the tool
So they key idea here is "borrowed" from this great article:
This detailed guide helps you with interpreting tyre temperatures. Reveal your racing cars'''' handling secrets & get clear setup directions inc FREE analyser

It is still bit experimental as I wasn't sure people would use it. I could add there more tresholds, e.g. 'MIN Front IMO Spread' and 'MAX Front IMO Spread', but now there is just one value with +-3 being treshold. (IMO = Inside/Middle/Out as compared to Left/Center/Right temperatures, i.e. same thing, different name'.
There are few components:
1) OMI profile (the line on top of each tyre). You can enable it in the sidebar checkbox. This shows the OMI temperatures (left-center-right), where higher value mean higher temperature. The line is made so, that the lowest point is always the lowest value. ==> So with 68, 66, 65 values, the lowest point is 65. The visual profile gives you and idea, what is the temperature different between the sides and how the center is doing. If there is a 'dip' then the pressures are too low, if it looks like hill then the pressures are too high. [//NOTE: EDIT HERE, had written temps when it should have been pressures, sorry]
2) OMI AVG
This is the average value of the OMI temps, you can choose 'Stint' so between two pitstops, or this lap for the calculations and to see the values below the tyres. I typically use 'this lap', but sometimes also the 'Stint'. This selection then affects, which value (stint or this lap) is used for the setup hints.
3) Setup hints
Here you see many different sliders to set your 'preferred' values.
As the tyre temperature/setup things are always personal preference and car/tyre/track/weather dependant, there is no single right answer. As you can read from the above article, there are few 'diffs' to look out. One is the diff between left and right of the tyre. One might want to allow front tyres' IMO diff bigger than rear. That is the first two settings 'front IMO Spread' and 'Rear IMO Spread'. So if you IMO spread is too high, you might want to change the camber to make it smaller. This is always car settings dependent.
Then there is the 'front-rear' diff. Some people might want to keep fronts bit hotter, but again this is personal preference and with this setting the Tool will notify, if the diff is too high. Same applies to the 'Left-Right' value, as typically one might want to keep the e.g. temperatures for front left and front right close.
I could add here also the tyre temp min/max target, now there is just one value 'Tyre Temp target' and there is +-10 degree range, but this value is mostly used for tyre temp coloring now. I could add it to the setup hints, the the temps are too low compared to the target.
So the stuff here will allow you to setup personalized 'checks' for the OMI and general Tyre temperature values.
Cheers.
