I've always run my cars at 38-39. Current tyres on the M3 are Conti 5P. My wear is really even, perhaps a tiny bit more on the front which would be from the track sessions. It's surprising because I run max camber and have tracked these tyres a few times when I haven't been able to get the slicks on. The inside edge of mine is worn the same as the outside edge, so maybe it is related to alignment/neg-camber and hard cornering
I agree, I run mine at 44 psi rear and 39 psi front, done about 25K including several track days and the inside rears are just coming down to the markers now. Sound like alignment - I have mine done every 6 months and the life has been really better than expected
