Get yourself some Loctite 480, glue up the cuts. Cuts are inevitable but repairable.

Do you check your tyres for flints? Flint punctures don't tend to happen immediately, they get stuck in the tread and worth their way down until they hit inner tube.

But Four Seasons are better of course.

It's a tyres, you can go years without puncture and have five in one day.

Open Paves: I've put about 600-800 miles on mine, and have had 4 punctures on the rear. It's also cut to pieces. This is from riding in the Surrey Hills mainly, and flint seems to be the culprit, judging by what I'm digging out of the tyre. The front is fine, never had an issue.
So, am I just unlucky? I think it might be time for a new tyre for the rear, and I'm tempted to just swap out both for something like GP4k (went all last winter with no issues) or Vredestein Fortezza Xtremes (1k miles on the commuter through London with no issues).
What's the chance it's a defective tyre? Pretty slim I guess, but they seem to get glowing reviews from everyone!
