After 1,500 or so miles on Contact Urbans (and no flats) I found something that will punch through. Picked up a brad nail that embedded itself in the rim in the rear, of course with a full load of groceries in both panniers.
Overall though, I’m impressed with these tires. They’re the fastest, most comfortable commuter tires that I have used. I’ve dug some impressively large pieces of glass out of them that didn’t make it through to the tube. They’re also wearing extremely well; I wouldn’t be surprised if I got 4-5,000 miles out of them.
