However you named two decent tires for puncture resistance. I think Michelin has one too. But I find Continental GP 5000's to be such a good quality ride, I'd put up with a puncture or two a year.
Interesting; I have definitely found chips of flint and glass in my GP5000s. Enough that this afternoon I installed a pair of Michelin Power Protection+, since I don't want to make the call of shame on a morning ride. It actually has a bead-to-bead belt on a 110tpi tire. It's the only one I know of like that.
