I seem to remember that the average tyre life prior to the NZG tyre was roughly between 12 and 20 landings. One of the main concerns of prolonged high altitude flight was the deterioration of the tyre rubber by atmospheric ozone (above 50,000'). For this reason a small amount of cabin air was bled into the undercarriage bays and expelled through vents in the doors. And archae86, my friend you will find nothing but respect for the SR71A and her crews from the Concorde 'family'.
