How long do Rotosound Solo Bass 55's last?

I think I'll buy some someday but before I do, I'd like to know how long they last.

Do they have the same lifespan as Swingbass 66s (which isn't long according to what I've read)?

I havent tried that version of rotosounds. But have used rotosound swing66 as main to only strings for a few decades. They last me a good 4 months per set. I ussually change them about every 4 to 4 and half months. But I do also like their broken in sound as long as it hasnt started getting dull to me yet.
