Buying in bulk is probably a good idea, I had the chance to buy a load second hand but never used at the start of the outdoor season, as a driver decided to get out of the hobby. I didn't buy them but wish I had now, I didn't think I could use so many tyres but I've already used almost as many as I did in the whole of last years outdoor racing.
I suppose you gotta pay for the extra speed, I'm consistantly faster than I was last year even though I'm using a 19turn instead of 12 or 15
It's also not helped by the fact Take Off's blue insirts seem to make it easier to get a ridge around the inside edge of the tyre
