Since I don't have a crotch rocket, my bikes' tire life isn't that dismal.

How many miles do you get out of a set? Sure, four tire on my cat at ~22lbs each is ~90lbs, but they'll also do ~100k miles, and I've never heard of people routinely getting 30+k miles out of two 15lb motorcycle tires. 10-15k average seems to be what the longer lasting tires are at, which is still two to three times the rubber a car uses. Crotch rockets are even worse.
