Don't see why a low friction coefficient would make them more durable.
But you could make a no stick omelet on them by setting your tires on
fire. Seriously you ever stirred something in a teflon coated frying pan
with a metal utensil? It might keep the brake dust and dirt from
sticking but they would be ruined the second you got stuck in the mud or
sand or anything else abrasive.
