How often does that actually happen? Tons of people in the gravel and MTB communities run tubeless specifically because they can get away with super-low PSI across rough terrain without much trouble.

I once met someone who - no joke - rode his 23mm Conti 4 Seasons at about 30PSI. He said he experienced constant pinch flats. His tires were failing, but it wasn't from cuts; it was from the casing fabric fraying its way out through the sidewall rubber. It looked absolutely ridiculous, the tire sidewalls discolored and fuzzy all around. Otherwise the tire looked healthy.
