I reset my odometer when I got larger tires on my Quest-2 in 2013. Well, it turned 5000 miles today and there has not been a flat since then. Either wheel.
Most of my riding is commuting and errands, something less than half on a bike trail, the rest on urban streets. I don't know if Seattle has less glass and junk on its streets than other places (judging by other cyclists here I don't think so), but these tires have stood the test.
They are:
"MTB Flat Guard, Slick 1.5" for 661 wheels.
The tire wall says "Folding cable braid, puncture resistant casing", and it looks like they mean it.
They're rated for 45-80 psi; I run them around 65 in the rainy winter, and 80 when it's dry.
Not for you racer types. But this commuter will trade a little speed for traction and durability.
