    There was some discussion about the DLC Audi's rear tires running about 10 degrees hotter than the fronts. Was this confirmed? or Was this just a matter of setup?

    They are not only hotter, they cool down slower than the front tyres on every GT car and even on the Lmp 2 . I think this is related to the rubber layer thicknes. I thinner one cools down faster because it can't safe that much heat like I thicker one.
