I’m on my third set I think. They do last longer than I usually get. About 2500 miles before casing was getting beyond thin. I ride the TL’s, don’t think I’ve ever gotten a flat that didn’t seal on any of them. Nasty suckers to put on my wheels as compared to all the other TL’s I’ve had but great tires IMHO. So tight but easiest to seat though lol
