I know a fair bit depends on driving style,but is this about right or do i need to drastically change my driving style?
So 15 total heats, not including practice?
That seems fairly reasonable.

My only question, other than your reference to "driving style," would be your motor choice (?) - as it seems most people that say something about wearing tires too quickly oftentimes have too much motor for the track they're running, and buzzing the tires (or excessive tire spin) seems to contribute to more tire wear than the actual mileage. And in your case, I see a lot of people running motors that are more suited to large outdoor tracks on smallish indoor tracks where the power isn't needed.
