The excessive RF tire wear comes from locking up the wheel at turn in. If you can manage to not lock your inside fronts then a) you're awesome, and b) you will be able to keep your RF about as good as your LF.
I checked the wear code over the weekend after doing a few races myself and thinking "hmm, look at that RF wear!" and realised the locked-wheel case didn't have a small adjustment made to it from a few years ago that we'd made to normal rolling wear, so I put that adjustment in. So, assuming the build we're assembling this afternoon doesn't have any issues (it also fixes the nuclear explosion sounds in Falcon replays) then the RF wear from inside lockup will probably be about 30% less after tonight's down time. With the same driving your RF might even last 30% longer, but you still want to try your best to avoid dragging that inside front tire if you can.
