I had two flats within a month of installing my Continental GP 4000S II 28mm last year. I then added Mr. Tuffy liner and was flatless the other 6 months with these tires. I'm about to reinstall them this year (I use Marathon Plus 35mm during Fall and Spring season), hopefully I haven't jinked it...
