^^ Well there's your problem. You're running a tire that needs changing more often. I found that running Hard or Super Hard tires meant that I could keep pace with the competition by driving a bit more balls-out, while also being able to keep on pace with the rest of the competition and their pit-stop strategy. The real trick is to be able to use RM tires just drive very smoothly and efficiently to preserve the tire life. If you do, you'll be both challenged, and surprised by how much smoothness can improve the life of the tires...so in that particular aspect, it's fairly realistic.
