I do ride on the shoulder, which is almost a lane in and of itself. I don't dare ride the lane, unless passing a parked/stalled/slow vehicle, as the hwy is a four lane with a speed limit of 65mph. It probably doesn't help there is a landfill at about the center point of my 12.5mi commute.
Worknomore and Phlorida are probably spot on in there assessment. About 99% of my flats are from these tiny wires that are apparently from tire steel belts after doing some more digging, really quite annoying to say the least. I am going to try some liners with my marathon pluses and see how they fair.
