That's arguably the
least effective way, as a puncture in this circumstance could be attributed to a handful of other factors uncorrelated with the actual puncture resistance of a tire. However the OP has made up her mind and frankly I'm not interested in arguing this any further. If you have tires that work for you continue using them.
