Tires that cost the same(or less) and ride nicer are readily available. I get like 1 flat a year.
+1
I used to get 10-12 flats a year with Michelin Pro4 Endurance vs 4-5 with Gatorskins. The ride was so much better with the Michelins that I didn't mind the increase in flats.
Since going tubeless 18 months ago, I've had one flat(in about 20k miles).
