Seems to be either or. I've had mine on tubeless for two years, with now a massive flat top on both, running around 55psi for commuting and they've been flawless. I can actually lean in the wet!
If I can't get the Strada Biancas in TLR when they come out, I'm going back to these.

Yes, that was what my first set was like.
Actually being too cheap to buy any more tyres for a while, I've stuck a thick puncture repair patch on the inside of the tyre under the cut and this seems to have sorted it. The last time I tried this failed totally, but I went to a bit more effort cleaning up the inside of the tyre first this time and it held without any issues for the whole of the ride I did yesterday.

On the other hand I've pretty much run out of patience with G-One speed 30c (I think - their tyre naming is so confusing). Ruined a nearly new one yesterday by rolling over a piece of glass at end of my road. Which is the second one in a row that's not lasted more than a few rides. Don't know if they changed the compound or something. My first set (when they were called S-Ones or something) lasted for ages.
The lesson is probably just not to ride bikes in the UK.
