Preposterous! Everyone knows tires don't win Tours, bicycles win Tours! 
Silly me, I thought it was the
riders! 
Back to the subject at hand...I have Specialised Turbo on my road bike and have run over all manner of objects and have not had a puncture yet in approx 2000km. I believe the Turbos have now been superseeded by the Armadillos (the tyres were OEM on my 2001 bike). I'm not saying they are puncture proof, I'm sure it's just a matter of time! I try not to tempt fate too much, I
always carry a spare tube and a patch kit.
