If you switch to the Conti trainer tire, it will basically last forever, but cannot be used on the road.
+1 on this, or switch over to rollers as was also mentioned. Here is the link for the trainer tire: http://www.conti-online.com/generato...rainer_en.html. Generally, around $30, and most LBS have or can get for you quickly.
