If I get a bike with non-puncture protected tires,I swap them for something I trust and give away/sell the stock ones. I have yet to flat any of my Randonneurs,Flak Jackets,or Marathons. I know plenty of folks who'll ride anything that fits on their rims,they can deal with them. Too much crap on the streets around here,and some of the neighborhoods are not condusive to stopping for repairs.

YMMV
