On asphalt, i get 2 meetings out of a set of fronts and 1 out of a set of rears. 3 x 8min quals and 15 min final. I run the tires large with a bead of CA around the outer edge of the rears to limit chunking if i spin out.
I generally try and have 1 set of hard fronts and 2 sets of soft rears with me at any one time and a set of mediums vacuum sealed just in case things change out of the ordinary.
I also only use 1 or 2 brands of tire, depending on what is available, Exceed, Ennetti or Ulti. My preference is for the first 2, as they come full size and the Ulti's come cut, but have a nicer foam that grips better and requires less dope to make them work nicely.
