Is the tyre fast? Then it is thin and will puncture more. Apparently only Conti GP 4S meet this magical actual toughness / fast criteria.
People conception of tyres and speed and toughtness is the same as "waterproof" jackets and breathe-ability: you just don't get to have both.

that's pretty bad. how many miles (and what type) are you putting on these to get that type of wear? I don't think I've ever worn a tyre through to that point - and I cycle a reasonable amount (c.4000mpa)
hope my gravel king SKs don't reach a similar fate

Too many skids, YAL. Back to Gatorskins for you ;-)

GKs are amazing tires on road and light gravel if you're prepared to deal with flats. Won't ever ride them with tubes

Tell that to the Schwalbe Almotions. They're mega tough and plenty fast. (650 x 2").

My first experience with them was grand, so I ignored everyone repeatedly saying how bad they were. Currently also getting burned with my second pair.
Suspicious of the hype around these teravail
