2k miles is only 2 months for someone doing decent mileage, but even pros don't train on thin racing tyres.

The 2k figure was from a Michelin lithion 2, which was a decent for the price cheap (15 eur) 700x25 tire. It’s not an event tire. Mainly chosen for its relatively price and predictable performance (1 compound).

The tandem and wider tires are not the cheap ones though, they’re Rene Hearse, roughly 90eur or so. I’d say they’re worth it, but they are about the same price as my last car tires.
