What Mikey sez...

I found that plain tubed GP 5000 were flat-O-matics, worst tire ever. I had 12 flats in three weeks on the buggers. On the other hand, the GP 5000 TR tire run tubeless seems to be more better gooder, no flats in months.

Also running the Pirelli P Zero Road TLR and ditto, no flats.
