Strings are like tires: you WILL need new ones. With benign finger chemistry, I get maybe 10,000 miles of driving for each set of strings. Heck, many pros change strings for each show, and some of us hackers change strings more often than we fill the tank
The side benefit is that (most) strings are cheap, so it's not overly expensive to experiment w/ different gauges. Juststrings.com and/or Stringsandbeyond.com should make it easy to mix & match.

But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
