Best lasting tire for self launcher hard surface

Currently flying a DG400 off a public airport with an asphalt
surface. A Condor tire was on the bird when I go it.

Looking for recommendations for the best lasting 5.00-5 tire for
asphalt.

Michelin Air, Goodyear Flight Special II or Goodyear Special Custom
III, or any other longer lasting tire.

I've used Michelin, Goodyear Flight II, Condor, and Goodyear Flight
Custom III on my ASH 26 E. The Custom III cost twice as much, but has
lasted 3 times longer than the best of the others, and has enough tread
to get to four times. It's a belted tire (but not a radial), and I think
that makes the biggest difference, since self-launchers taxi tilted to
the side, putting a lot of side pressure on the tire.
