All tires wear out eventually. Do car tires last forever?
Get quality tires and watch when riding through glass and debris on the road and they'll last a little longer.
Please DON'T ROTATE TIRES like car tires. YOU WANT TO BETTER TIRE ON THE FRONT.
When you replace the rear tire, which will wear out first (most of the weight is on the rear tire), discard the rear tire, put the front tire on the rear, and put the new tire on the front.
