Depends what we call normal. RFTs can benefit from running above the placard/plate figures. All depends on use and do the tires run at the full working pressure in use. Setting pressure is only part of getting it correct.

My door placard recommends F 2.1/R 2.5 bar for my car, in normal use. Far too low to prevent irregular wear in my use. I run F 2.4/R 2.65 bar, and get even wear rates.

Same on my last BMW, recommended front pressure was far too low to prevent poor shoulder wear. Rear needed a minimum of 0.15 bar (2 - 3psi) increase on setting pressure, to help the inner wear, with the camber and toe we have on the geometry.
