Have you run these Falken tires before? - no first year with them.
Assuming square setup - Yes
Did you rotate front to rear at all? No - big mistake
..and same questions that Rusty asked.. Front insides

Measure before, after, and if you can during; have someone measure your times in the pit lane one session. Depending on the situation I could gain almost 15psi from cold start to mid/end session. - I do this, I measure at the start and measure when I get in and adjust before the next session, target, when at the end is F36 / R34

Also what's your sway bar and settings? That has a lot of impact on weight transfer and wear. - White Hopkins - Set Hard front / Soft back, I will have to look as to wear they actually are?

Thanks for the comments and thoughts... Still learning, a lot of hard lessons right now, but it all helps.

Will have to do somewhat of a re-think this off season, in the process of doing that now...
