In the last race I had to pit 1 round before end of race although the tyre wear was at 15% and there was enough fuel in the car. Can anyone explain why this happened, is it some kind of nasty random?

Did you check the race analisis to see if the pit was for other reason?
In the race analisis you can see the reason for the pit ;)

Did you have the 15% on the lap before pit (so did you read it from race replay)? Since it is perfectly possible that it is not enough 2 laps and you need to pit on the next lap.
However, if it says 15% in the race analysis then it's more curious as tyres shouldn't wear that fast.

the race analysis says it was the tyres, since the tyre condition was 7%. this suggests that the wear in the previous lap was 8% (15%-8%=7%).
First question: why 8%, if the previous laps had 7% wear under same temperature?
then, the last lap had 7% wear again.
Second question: Was there really a reason for pitstop, since the remaining 7% would just bring me across the finish line?

The live screen only shows an approximate indication of tyre wear and fuel load.
Only the race analysis gives actual data.
Think of it like a real F1 team - they get some good data over the telemetry and feedback from the driver how the car is handling etc, but when they get the car in after the race they might see that the actual wear is slightly different than they calculated.

Bad luck, I guess, and also rounding. You may have used about 7.02% every lap with the 0.02 summing up to 1% in just that lap...

you only get whole numbers so for example although the wear might be 7.25% a lap so every 4 laps you would wear 8% instead of the 7 you have had on other laps

yes because you were defo wearing more than 7% per lap :)

rounding makes it difficult to make exact calculations.
nearly every number related to fuel and tires is rounded in some way by the time you see it.

it's always worth a go.
I tried to use my mind powers to make my fuel last but I'm too tired to do it this race..... last race really took it out of me.

Shooting the tyres would indeed produce extra wear.

Indeed, unless they're undead tyres. Then they just slowly shamble towards the finish line.

I am wondering why people go offtopic in topics in the newbie forum, where the managers come with legit questions and are making an effort trying to understand the game.
Seriously guys, be considerate to the newbies who are trying to give the game a shot and keep the jokes for outside the newbie forum. They expect answers/help/guide here, not trolling.

Making fun of they way he expressed his concern about his tyre wear does not help him in any way.

Dzubur, it's just the rounding. You may have had 6.51% left an it would show as 7%, yet you maybe needed 7.49% to get the lap done. Best thing is to calculate the actual mileage you had from the tyres. But even that is slightly inaccurate due to the rounding. Once I had to pit with a lap to go, although it was working out that I should've gone around one more time and have 400m to spare, It's just the way tyre wear (and fuel consumption too) is rounded off to the nearest percent.

He means in the race analysis page, there you get the percentages rounded and the intervals are of 1%, not 3%

I would like to thank to all of those who took time to provide serious explanation and help. I really appreciate it guys.
Thanks to Stone Cold Steve Austin for a lesson in English too. :)
A very special thanks however goes to Florencia for protecting me.
Muchas gracias Florencia. (Diego es el mejor del mundo para mi.) :)
(The humorous Anglo-American bunch above will now probably warn me that this is an English forum)

(@Florencia, I understood the question to already be adequately answered, so I attempted to inject some humor. If you don't see it that way that's fine; I will always respect instructions from staff.)
