According to the devs, the final physics are still several months out, and
as you mention we've yet to see the new tire model. I've been very
pleased though with how the FFB has matured over the last several months.
Although everything is still very much a WIP, I feel things are moving in
the right direction. My hope is that this will have all the aspects of a
"serious" sim, but still have the ability to appeal to those who simply
want to enjoy a realistic driving experience.
