I've worn out several Gatorskins before, and I've worn out GP4Ks before, and I didn't flat either very often, but did flat the GP4Ks more times than the Gatorskins. Thing is, I hate the road feel of Gatorskins. They feel dead and lifeless to me, and I can feel the difference in energy they suck from my ride. Having to replace a tube on the side of the road every once in a while is worth it to me over doing that less often but having my bike ride always noticeably suckier.
This is exactly the feeling I get from Gatorskins as well which moved me to try other flat resistant tires. But the Gatorskin feels responsive and smooth compared to that Michelin Power Endurance. The Pro4 Endurance was really nice. But while I didn't get any flats with them the number of flats I've gotten with the Power Endurance gives me the idea that I was just lucky.
Apparently there is a new flat resistant Michelin out there - the Krylion 2 Endurance but the price is sky high. But 15% less than the Power Endurance.
