around here we ride on old levee roads beat up by the sun from May thru October, and a road base that is undermined by flooding in the winter resulting in potholes and unstable road surfaces. Random Google Maps shot showing a typical road surface outside the metro area:
Riding over broken road surfaces like that, you can actually here the pavement shift. Kinda weird.
The levees next to rivers are even more fun, there are 20-50 foot long cracks in the direction of travel with something like a 1" drop and those can be pretty treacherous to sidewalls and staying upright:
On top of that we have tribulus terrestris (goat head thorns).
As a result I’ve NEVER had GP4KS2 tires last more than about 2000-2500 miles. Everyone around here gets flats, even with Gatorskins (just not as frequent). I’m having better luck compromising with Conti 4 Seasons, but the thorns are coming and so I’m looking for a sturdier tubeless tire as the sidewalls on racing tubeless have taken a beating.
