38-44psi is on the high side, but if your setup allows you turn faster lap times, then do it. The stopwatch doesn't lie. If I ran mine that high, I would be slipping all over the place.
Compare to A6/R6/R1, of course it is softer. I was comparing it to the RA1 sorry.

As I said before, the car felt no different on low or high tire pressure, yet the times just came down with the higher pressure. I guess that's the reason why Toyo recommends it. I honestly didn't believe it at first as the tires look fine on the lower tire pressure, yet the lap timer didnt lie and gave me the consistent result (lower times on higher pressure).
