The sidewalls are reinforced, preventing what happened to Dannihilator's. I can see mine lasting a long time. I was skidding like crazy yesterday just for the hell of it and there aren't even any visible marks on my rear tire. Also, I think you may need to shop around more:

I kinda hate Randos. Sure, they're tough as Hell on steroids but I find them to be pretty sluggish, even when over the recommended psi.
