Default Must be a better way to protect chair legs on tile floors

My problem is different. Three of my lovely wood and leather chairs have had the leg joint destroyed, as the chair bottom catches on the grout line when the chair slides and bends the leg back and forth. No one seems to repair furniture in 2016, and though I could buy a new set ($$$$$$$), the same thing will undoubtedly happen to that set. I am NOT going to display tennis balls on our pretty dining set. Any more realistic suggestions to protect the chair legs?

I first bought the dark brown rubber chair leg protectors
from Home Depot; then the black protectors at Lowes; and
finally the cream colored rubber chair leg protectors at
ACE Hardware.

They all crack and simply fall apart.

Do they make a rubber chair leg protector that won't
fall apart in a year? Where can I get them?
