Factory 36 psi, wear rate was terrible but even, at lower pressures I got vague handling and rapidly increased shoulder wear. I am lowered a fair bit and running a little negative camber and more castor up front. Is your suspension standard?

Ive had r888 for some time now on road and track.
running them at 30 on road is fine with even wear but track i take them down to 22 front and 26 rear, when up to temperature they reach 32psi.
If you run them anywhere near 30 for track they tend to balloon and wear savagely in the centre, hope this helps
