Blowouts are rare, and generally have a cause that you can point to.

For example, beware of brakes rubbing the side of the tire. Or, the tire wearing thin. Perhaps skid patches. Also, I've seen a tire that fit too loosely on the rim, or perhaps a pinched tube from install.

A little will depend on the tire size.

Michelin Protek Cross Max is one of the toughest tires I've used. And, my experience is that it had excellent traction on wet pavement, and even on light slushy snow. I put quite a few miles on them, and don't think I ever got a flat.

They were a little slower than some of my "road" tires, and not my favorite tire for "century" rides. Still, it would be worth considering for a city tire.
