I have never ever had an unexpected puncture on road bike tyres. I ride through industrial areas with steel shards and bits of glass daily.
The only times I have had punctures is when my tyres have been worn down to the woven casing, when I have been totally expecting it.
I have run bottom or range conti's & vittorias (like £8 tyres) right to the end of their lives. Even rode a pair of £3 camels with no punctures.
I ride with one gatorskin currently, and it seems like a very tough grippy tyre.
