Not saying you are wrong, but I manage to make a set of MPSC last a full season here in Finland - that is 6 race weekends and several practice sessions in between the race weekends.
Lap times just begin to fall off after about 20 HC here in SoCal. By 30 HC they might be 2-3 seconds slower. They still have tread material but they are no longer fast. It's like losing 50hp. We have very high track temps here in the southwest so you may be able to run a bit longer in Scandinavia but 30 HC is surely outside the sweet spot. This is pretty well known:
