I challenge my students to learn to taxi without brakes. and I come
down hard if they beat up the airplane with unecessary braking instead
of staying ahead of the airplane. (sometimes even with profanity! Can
you imagine that?)
How about you? If you had to pay for the brakes, tires, and
maintenance, would YOU beat up the airplane?

I fly a Tiger.

Got any suggestions on how to turn without brakes?

Back when I was flying 172's I never found it necessary to use the brakes
unless I had to make a REALLY tight turn, so I see your point.

Well ya got me there! But even so, careful use of flight controls can
certainly mitigate brake use. I started flying the old AA-1 back in
the early 70's and it wasn't much different than taxiing one of the
old Volpar Beech conversions that required braking in place of nose
wheel steering.
