This subject has been discussed before, as ever the inescapable conclusion is that certain tyres may be twice the price, but give four to five times the mileage. The pictures I showed then indicated that tread wear is only part of the situation, Waymasters with lots of tread had the insides of sidewalls breaking down and destroying inner tubes.
The Avon Sidecar tyres and more recently the Longstone now available for 17" wheels for Rubies etc have a good reputation not just for road use but for silly weekend activities. Both cope with periods of serious use at 12 psi, good lord scrutes never any less, or when dodging at speed round cones, or indeed knocking cones over at speed, going up to what certain drivers recommend at 32psi.
