Rigit tire 47-622, had it for 2 weeks
I have run too much or too low pressureas far as I am aware.
Thats shortest lasting tire I even had ,(33$), ordered from Bikeinn.com
Since I am in Africa now, its time to find new tires here.

Did you get the folding version? That is regarded as more durable than the non-folding version.
Something strange happened here because, with rotation, you can get well over 10,000 km out of a pair of Mondials. The recommended pressure, by the way, is printed on the side of any Schwalbe Marathon tire.
Many African riders now seem to be choosing tubeless. Are your rims tubeless-compatible? Of course, tubeless tires are all worse for longevity than Mondials.
I’ve got close to 10,000 k’s on my mondials and apart from going a little bit bald, they’re still golden
My current set of Schwalbe Marathon Mondial Evo DD has approximately 18.000 kms done. Rotated front and back. I reckon they are still good for 5k at least. 10% gravel, extreme heat, Iran, Pamir Highway, SEA, Westafrica. I reckon that early failure is on you 😬
Is something rubbing on the tire sidewall?
I had 3 different Mondials all fail in the same way in less than 5000 km. I think Schwalbe had a bad year or two.
