Great tyres. Brilliant puncture protection.
Used them for 3years with very few punctures.
Though they do ride like you are cycling through treacle.

I had 2 yesterday , one one the way to work and when i came out the tyre was flat again, on investigation looks like the replacement tube was old and it blew along a seam.

I got a visit today after reading this thread. I'm blaming you Matthew.

Everytime I read a post on here it always contains someone moaning about getting a p*ncture. I havent had one in months and I cycle along leaf ridden, stoney, sandy shared paths all the time. Has the fairy forgotten about me?

Be very careful what you ask for.
Did over 10,000 without one. Then whilst stationary at a set of lights, the back tire started hissing.

 

[MisterStan]

I've had two this year, but that's all because I was too stubborn to accept my rear tyre needed replacing and thought I could milk a couple more hundred miss or so out of it!

That's 3 points per corner!

Not too bad this year. Two. Like buses, they came within days of one another. Second one took out the tyre so now have all bikes running on marathons and hoping for no punctures in the next 15,000 miles!

Edit; Not as many miles as usual though

None all year, although a friend managed to puncture one of my M+ when he borrowed the utility bike for the weekend (No idea how!)

I still had to fix it though, so I guess it counts.

One this year, hit some debris, destroyed the back tyre and tube, two tube failures, with one the valve started to part company with the tube and with one the tube split, I've done just over 4000 miles.

The tyres you use and the road surface & riding style all play a part. Despite running tough tyres - M+ on one bike and the above Bontrager on the other, I still check tyres during the weekly maintenance and remove embedded objects.

+ one for the weekly check, I always check my tyres once a week for debris.
