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.
Tell that to the Schwalbe Almotions. They're mega tough and plenty fast. (650 x 2").
Only two years old? Check. 650b and tubeless only? Check. 5 star rating on Rolling Resistance? Check. More than £50 a tyre? Check.
I think I'll wait for the hype to die down ;)
