a waste of money. In fact, they can be worse than expensive tires.
Similar for MTB tires.
That depends on your riding conditions and requirements. I ride on good
roads on my road bikes and get 4500 km out of a Continental 4000S(2) rear
tire and expect the same from the 5000 so price is not that important.

I get about the same mileage and very few flats. I think I’ve had one flat
in the last 10,000km and that was a tube giving out when I hit a pothole
hard. I ride on roads but I can’t say they’re always good roads.
Maybe Joerg is riding his road bike on single track carrying 4 gallons of
water or something...

George does ride over gravel roads. Consequently he gets sidewall cuts.
