I think it depends on where you ride. In beautiful Antioch we have so much glass on the street I rarely wear through a tire before it's too cut up to be safe. Combine the glass with the thorns and lots of flats happen, no matter the tire or tube. When we leave the area and tour Washington, Oregon, Idaho or Montana, flats are rare to the point of being downright unusual.
