Seems to work for him. No first hand exerience here. But might be worth trying. One thing is for certain: a soft sidewall with insufficient pressure on a heavy car will always overheat the tire. And once it does, they'll be gone for a while. It is possible that starting them at 28 is way too low. NB I used to start NT01s at 28 on my 3100lb car. But interestingly enough, I had to start R1s higher (31) to arrive at and then stay at a sweet spot. Even though they too have very stiff sidewall.

Then again it's still about 6-7 psi more than what the manufacturer recommends and It's very possible that R8 guy doesn't know much
