"On the track, I like to bleed to 38 all round hot. The Trofeo R sidewall feels much softer than other cup tires, hence the cushier ride, but this also leads to faster heating on the track when they are under-inflated. At 34 hot, they can get greasy with 12 minutes of very hard driving. 38 keeps them a bit cooler for a longer period of time.
And ditto Moggy about the thicker inner and outer shoulders. This design makes them last much longer for both DD and on the track.

From an R8 forum.
Keep in mind, if you start soft sidewall tires too soft they will overheat very quickly because of flexing. It is counter intuitive, but they will perform better if you start them too high then bleed down.
But that requires pitting after 3-4 laps and can be a PITA. Obviously no such issues with NT01 as their sidewalls are hard as rock
PS Ok really running away now lol!
