Advice needed!
I’m 90kg (200lbs) and commute about 100k (60miles) per week. My p-line came with Conti contact urban tyres which both split after a year.
I upgraded to Schwalbe One’s (which are beautiful and faster) but the back lasted just weeks and the front just went after 4 months.
Aside from getting myself on a diet, what else can I do here? I am keeping them in the correct pressure range. I would love any suggestions on how to prevent this and stay with a tan wall tyre!

Looks like your brake pads are rubbing against the tyre, which they shouldn’t be. It’s a relatively simple thing to adjust yourself, or just pay someone if you’re not confident (would pay for itself by not having to buy more new tyres).
I use marathon plus tires and they’ve been holding up really well, but it has only been a few months with them. I’m 260 putting up similar miles to you if that helps.
need to share what the brakes look like next to the rim, so like just another angle.
is the issue the same on the other tire?
Keep the tyres on the right pressure, I use an electric pump to keep them well inflated before any long trip, like that the original tyres last me around 5 years.
Hate to say it but you need to switch to Marathon Plus and pedal harder 🥲
