I've even ridden one of them well past the point at which it should have been changed (I just stopped paying attention for a few weeks there and when I looked again, the thing had over 3000 miles and you could see all the inside fibers of the tire!)
I expect my tires to last more than a year, and certainly wouldn't accept going through 3-4 per year. I don't race any more, but I do ride alot. My brother had the same problem with his Michelin Race Pros, too. I like Michelin. I'm French, after all. But just not that model, for my particular and personal use.
