2 or 3 sets a day is overrated, in some cases with clubraces I can do it on 1 set or I am starting with an used set which calculates 1.5 set of tires a race.
You have not run at some of the track here in America. There are some that are smooth as a baby's bottom with good traction and minimum tire wear. Then, there are others that are like running on cheese graters or 10 grit sandpaper. That is why I stated that you could go through two to three sets per raceday. We have two tracks that can handle 1/8th scale onroad in Texas and when they first opened, going through 2+ sets of tires was the norm. Now, it is not so bad but if you run as hard as the guys do here, you can still run through a set or two very easily.
