I changed my driving style and now use a mixture of both but tend to use tip for coming down the box to save on the brakes, i have cooked and warped 2 sets of front disc's now, and i'm sure that was down to leaving in D and using the brakes then holding on the foot until clear to go causing localised heating on the disc's. The route i drive a lot has duel carriageway into roundabouts.

So just to be awkward i use a mixture of D and tip with tip for braking.
