The noted freeze-thaw cycle is the notorious cause in Michigan, but potholes occur in places that never see freezing temps as well.
What are potholes and what do the cause

I don't think that the roads in San Diego are that bad. Also I agree that having gatorskins on those wheels is a sin! Get some poor weather/poor condition wheels that you can put those gatorskins on, and put some fast tires on the Corimas.

As durable as any other tire. It is supposed to have a stiffer sidewall and more durable compound, a winter commuter type tire.
Seriously, the bike is likely limited by the tires. You might find it to be a completely different ride with light, supple, grippy rubber.
Then again you might get spoiled so don't blame me.
