From my observations, very little.
Most of the groups that I gamed with played that way and TBH, it didn't seem to make much of a difference. Usually after taking a few hits on a side, shooting at the side ends up being more fatal than shooting at their tire. Go ahead and shift to my tire. I'll keep pounding on the same side.
And people compensate too. Tire shots would go in and out of being in vogue as a popular tactic. Uparmoring wheels would happen and then ratchet back as well.
Losing a wheel is one of the worst penalties you can be hit with in Car Wars, but it is often survivable. I've finished (and won) more than a few battles with one (or more) wheels missing.
