Conti 4 season tires?

[AndyPeace]

Anyone regularly use these? at what milage do you change them. I have a set but after flawless protection for 1500 miles they seem to have lost there puntcure powers. I have riden harsh country lanes with poor surfaces and littered with hedge flailings, but up untill yesterday not a single puncture... now 4 in two days. Just bad luck? or do I need a new set of tires?

I have the same tyres and have had three visits in the last two days. Spooky. They are my first pair with about 2500 miles on them and the tread still looks pretty good.

"sorry dear, I had to buy a new bicycle, I had a puncture".. he he just practicing what to say... I took a look at my tires, without the resentment of having missed today's ride. The tread looks fine, but I have picked a fair bit of stone chips and a couple of big thorns out. Fairly sure this is just down to harsh road conditions and flailed hedges, rather than the choice of tire. I considered changing my routes, but in the end opted for tire sealant.

My 4seasons lasted longer (3500 iirc) but I'm not that big and abnormal spate of p'tures was the sign for me they needed replacing. For money reasons I switched to Mitch Krylion and it was a good move they are over 5000miles old and look almost as good as new and are just as grippy/ good rolling.
