Tyre pressures should never be fixed, they are not fixed even on quite fixed cars/championships where you can't touch your car and work on it in any way, always have to use original parts and only a certified shop can change them.
V10 tyres in AC are very sensitive to pressure. Plus AC doesn't support automatically venting tyres from excess pressure either, which can also be banned from use on some series/championships.
Most of the default setups are horrible, borderline undriveable and can cost you 2s on a 2min lap, say 2% penalty time wise from using a crappy default setup. The default setups are there so that you can drive and tune the car yourself, Kunos has said it before, they don't have the time and people to go and tune every car for every track, they just give it some default that often sucks and let you do the work of making the car decent.
Some cars the difference from default to custom is low, on other it's massive.
And if you can drive a car, fixing the setup doesn't help anything, the driver differences stay the same. And all you do with fixing setups is lower the skill/practice ceiling that already is fairly low.
Another problem with AC is that it uses psi not kpa and having 1 psi steps is too large for how damn sensitive the V10 tyres are to pressure
And I think you can't set 0.5psi as AC will round the numbers when you load a setup... at least that's how it seemed to me from driving.
