Drive harder! My last set of tires lasted 17,000 miles. My current set
probably won't make it past 15,000 but that's because I wore 1/4 inch of
tread off them on a track day last weekend.

I want boots made of whatever your tyres are made of. I'm lucky to get more
than about 1,000 miles before the soles rot and disintegrate.

(Still, since the fuel consumption seems to be about a banana for six miles,
boots do seem quite economical to run, and only marginally slower than the
Tube.)
