I have a set of Rs-4s and they wear like iron. They are a tad slower than RE-71's or NT-01's

I run the same 255 R and 225 F. And have a ROW 030 suspension and camber plates. I found that 32R/31F hot works wellI bleed them down after each session to 32/31

I like these as practice/non competitive tires. I tend to like them best at 34 hot all around. At 32 I start to roll the shoulders and at 36 they start to get greasy.

Jay is getting pretty fast these days and if 32 works for him, he should stick with it.

I took a new set out to a track day and found 31f & 32r hot still looked too high. It looks like they still weren't rolling quite enough. I found 28f & 29r hot was right on my Toyo's,
but I cant imagine it would be the same on these. Anyone else found these need lower pressures?
