Even if it does take a few tries to find your happy place, once you nail it, it's the same stuff for quite a while

It isn't really that difficult, unless you make it so
We don't run 12th scale locally......I only run 12th at out of town events (WCICS series), so 8 different tracks in 8 different cities. The surface and traction levels are different at each event, so it isn't as simple as you say.
Ideally, at a minimum, I should be bringing multiple pairs of green rears, blue rears, blue fronts, double blue fronts, and maybe even pink/magenta/team purple, and then do testing/guessing as to which combo to use throughout the weekend. A spec tire would avoud all of that.
