      Hmmmm not sure if those two words should be used together when talking about the life span of a tyre/tire :)
      I am presuming you are looking for a road tyre/tire after your earlier post rockclimber?
      If so I have seen excellent results from Schwalbe Durano+ foldables.

      I only ride Gator Skins, so they are a few grams heavier, I race Crits and Road races on them as well as fast paced group rides, I have virtually no flats due to crap on the roads and usually wear flat spots on them after about 1500 miles or over use on the trainer. Plochman
