Happy Touring!
The two that have worn out were both rear tires - one on my very-heavily-loaded single, and one on our very-heavily-loaded tandem. Since we have four people but are carrying the gear on essentially two bikes, those two bikes are heavy. No other tire would have lasted as long as the Schwalbes did.
