Or, if you're just emotionally done with them, you could move on to something with better protection, if you're not ready for tubeless. Bah Humbug likes his Michelins, I think - I'm sure he'd be happy to advise.
I was thinking about the GP5000 I thought they had decent puncture resistance. But after today, and I think the roads will be worse in the winter time, I am considering tubeless. I’ll have to see if my wheels are tubeless ready. Otherwise I will be sticking with tubes for awhile.
