Yes, I've read this.
Tires are just like engines. If you abuse them...you're not going to get good life out of them. Bias ply, they take more abuse...just a poorer performing tire but idiot proof.
As far as good radials, they need to be looked after, just like anything else. You can take a new motor & an idiot cam wreck it in a few thousand miles. Someone who maintains their equipment might get a million miles out of the same motor. Tires are no different.
I hear stories of guys that have had 5 Michelin XZL's disintegrate & yet I've never had so much as a flat tire in at least 30 tires.
Just makes me wonder. That's all I'm saying.
