My GP3000s have been pretty flat-resistant too. Maybe it's luck. I did flat on them after letting them go to 4000 miles. They were pretty thin and ratty looking by then. I've been on quite a few rides where people with supposedly tougher tyres than mine flatted (we were riding through quite a bit of road debris and glass) and I came through unscathed.
