That's surprising to me. I really like the GP 4 Seasons, but the casing split on my rear tire after about 2100 miles and the casing split on the front about 400 miles later. I don't think it was from any specific road hazard -- it just came apart. On the other hand, those were the only flats I got with those tires, so that was still better than I get on average from most fast rolling tires.
