I was actually thinking you could go down in pressure a bit to let them roll a bit more.
Or am I seeing that wrong?
Based on what I'm seeing you could go down in the front a bit but the pressures are new close enough all the way around that I'd be making changes based on chassis balance more than tread wear. If it tends to understeer (and based on my Mustang experience it probably does ) then dropping the front pressure a couple of psi is probably a good idea. It it's neutral or tends to oversteer I wouldn't change the pressures.
In reply to APEowner :
It has understeer tendencies, but is quickly corrected with throttle input. I'm still getting used to just how much more throttle and how much earlier I can apply it.
A couple of times I intentionally tried to upset the balance or get it to drift or spin. The craziest thing happens, it just claws growls and launches out of corners. Specifically turn 3 where I used to break the limited slip free and spin a tire.
Big high speed sweepers act the same way I can just keep adding more throttle and instead of the rear stepping out I can unwind a bit and achieve a nice gentle slip.

If you are sticking with that category of tire for your next set I'd take a hard look at the Firestone Indy 500, I feel like they'll hold up a bit better than the Conti ECS on a dry track and likely be quite a bit more affordable too.
Based on my autocross experience with the Indy 500, I concur.
