Over the winter on indoor tarmac (5-10deg track temp) I must have got 30 runs out of a set of 32Rs running 2S 10.5, with no major change to the overall grip and balance. Sure for a big race I'd put a new set on, but I wouldn't expect to gain more than a tenth or two per lap from a new set.

If they're wearing that quick then they're probably the wrong tyre for the track; I would imagine they must be scrubbing. I'd try the QTS32 or the EXP30 which will have a bit less grip and scrub less.

The track I practice on is very low grip on practice days, so the high profile on the R series helps generate maximum cornering traction. But when the grip comes up they do scrub speed and wear quicker.
