well in fairness
i had only one pinch flat when i hit a pot hole at speed, then the last two (rear)flats where due to me not having switched the front and rear tyres even though the rear had gotton pretty squared off and obviously was coming to the end of it life.
(i was reluctant cause it only taken me about 2 months to rack up the 2000 miles)
since switchig them round which i should probably have done 500miles ago i've not gotton another.
i'm really very impressed with them especially as i was getting almost one flat per ride before using them.
toronto roads, just after the winter and early spring are littered with huge amount of debris that collects in all the snow, ice and grit of the long winter months.
of course we should go with what we are used to but for roughly 25$ a go they're great tires in my book. I've gotton the folding pro version ($40) for when these finaly go which are the same weight as michelin pro 2 tires. we'll see if they last as well.
BTW first time i used armadillos i got a flat on my first ride after less than 70 miles, shard of glass went right through it  go figure. guess i got puncture karma or something
