I’ve basically given up 1/10th Racing because of this.
At kidderminster, the Z3 tyres lasted really well and gripped okay, but the performance/laptime just isn’t there when compared to a yellow dart. Yes it was 1.5 secs a lap slower. Put on a yellow dart and your instantly faster. Not sure if this is down to sand, rubber in the Astro etc... but running 2 sets of rears and 1 set of fronts per meeting just isn’t sustainable for me.
1 set per run is simply no go, and why I’ve not done regionals for the last 10 years as it’s not enjoyable not being competitive due to size of your wallet.

I’m now doing mini / oval and v cheap. 6 meetings on a pair of rear tyres and only £5 for a new pair truedand glued on wheels.
