Sometimes, I think that certain batches of so-called puncture-resistant tires are below QC standards, but are sold nonetheless.
Personally, in terms of puncture resistance, of all the tires that I have accumulated significant mileage (>3000 miles), I like the Conti GP 4Seaons the best since I haven't had any puncture on these tire yet (I guess I just jinxed myself). I have similar number of flats (single digits) on Conti GP4000s and Vittoria Rubino Pros over the last a few years. Others I have used include Vittoria EVO Corsa and Pave as well as Hutchinson Fusion tubeless. I haven't had any flats on them but neither have I put a lot of miles in them. BTW, I use mostly Continental tubes.
