I did 2 pairs this year.
That was for 7 race meets plus 7 track days.
Maybe I could've done with a third set? At cadwell I was struggling with front grip, but I'm not bright enough to work out if that was shagged tyres, bike setup or ME!

I managed six, ok 5.5, races on Kevs used tyres (i think he's had them on all season.

My other second hand set did 3-4 trackdays and most of the Cadwell 2-dayer.

Theres another season in them yet

I used three sets this year, there's a bit left in the last set.
I reckon you could get away with 2 fronts and 3 rears for the whole season and trackdays etc....
