Tyre life

Looking for some feedback on tyre life. I have an issue with replacing tyres every 12 months. The units run in a manufacturing environment and warehousing is the reason they required these units. The site dose have concrete joins however product is on the floor and is quite abrasive. The product is minerals mined from the ground, the concrete floor isn't finished and the machines are always in the warehouse.

My question is there any way I can get more tyre life from the tyre?
Is there a different compound to suit this environment?

They are the standard tyre from the Nichiyu machine. Just having a complaint from the customer.

How can I get a hold of a workshop manual from Nichiyu fbfr 16-75 series?

Thanks Partsguy5

12 months is not bad for a what you are describing. What type of tire are the currently using?
