I have been using them exclusively for just over 20 years.

I started with them when I found a set for my 18 wheeler when I drove truck after 9-11. Believe the brand was centrimatic. The rear tires lasted almost 500,000 miles when around 300,000 miles was normal. Plus saving money as my tires never needed to be balanced again.

I have never had a car tire set long enough, or I did to many burn outs to find out if they will increase lifespan.

Big rigs are subject to more tire wear issues more then cars. Or atleast that's what I experienced.
