I believe that the route has much more to do with punctures than do the actual tire. I roll with 700x32C Michelin City, a 700x23C Michelin Orium, and a 26x2.0 Forte VersaTrac (out of production). Knocking on wood, because no one should ever talk about their flats as it only invites more, I've had only two flats in the past two years. I installed Slime tire liners on the 26x2.0s with good results, but since I am using the same tires I can't speculate on if the tire or the route is responsible for the lack of flattedness.
