none of that over here in LA... just potholes and their potential pinch flat. if i ride thru debree, the good ol oven mitts wipe off the tire on the move.
i run 23s and higher TPI tires for the most part. depends what's cheap and available from the roadies (i don't buy new tires). atm i'm on vittoria corsas. most of the flats i've gotten were on lower tpis (zaffiros). i've had the best success with contis and vitorrias. WORST luck w/ michelins
