Ouch! I'm surprised by this. I hoped they were better than that. I guess for club racing, its less of an issue if they are "past their best" so to speak.

I currently use a 10.5 brushless in my B4, so I can't comment that much. (I've used them for 7 meetings, about 25 runs, and they show little wear). I understand if i was running a proper brushless motor, this would increase wear dramatically.

However, Wez's B44 has lasted one one set of tyres, since the Newbury Open back before Christmas. Its running a 10x2 (if I remember correctly), and has ran at the Hereford club every other week (mostly carpet), Ludlow near enough every week (on slippy floor) as well as a few club meetings at Caldicott. I'm sure Cris Oxley or Wezzer will confirm things if they read this. I guess it can be done, for club racing?
