The reason they are supposed to last longer: the contact point is more flat
They have foam inserts for motorcycle tires used off-road. The problem is they don't last long at high speed. The flexing builds up heat and kills them.

Michelin says 6 months max life, 80 mph max, and keep them under 40C.
