Round by round works better as you have to be consistent - you are able to drop rounds where you mess up.
FTD - if it is dry in round one, and you mess up, then it rains for the following rounds, you have NO chance to do anything.
Or the same for some tracks, the grip levels change - high grip at the start and dust / dirt comes up making the surface less grippy = slower time.
You 'heard' someone used 5 new sets - you heard nothing but crap, even national drivers dont tend to do that anymore. And even if they did, does that mean you have to? Are you fighting for top 3 places at regionals / nationals?
I go through two a meeting, and then use both pairs for practice another time, they get plenty of use.
