that's better than what I'm doing....and I ride in sand and black loam!.
when I was racing, I'd get two 20min races per tire....I'd just flip it between motos.
had I gotten a tire knife back when I was racing, I could've gotten maybe 4 races per tire.
so you're about average for someone that isn't racing.

it just seems to me that with the best tire at $110 to$120 a pop a person should be able to get more than 5 or six hrs on a tire. plus when i run a tire off i rin it to nothing on top. the knobbs on the sides are there but chunked out pretty well. i know the 500 are powerhouses and are tough on anything included on the bike if a person knows how to have some fun on one. but really> im ha;f tempted to go for those really cheap tires that half as long and see whats most cost effective. i think thastll be my thing .ill start documenting the hrs to tire and ultimately come up with a base line durability per buck. itll help me know which way to go. i still want to cget a recap cell built from some tyre company and start retreading. i think as long as the case of the tire is good then the rest shouldn't be a problem. but just to retread for myself ....theres that cost effective term again.

regardless of how much you spend, or what brand you're running that's just the nature of it...and where you're running in mostly rock/hard pack, it's gonna be that much tougher to make a tire last.
try buying snowmobile track :lol:...I had the dealer install a new one on my sled in 2013...it was just over $1200.

it's starting sound like you'd be better off selling the bike...and getting a good pair of hiking boots.
