Getting flats, even several flats, does not mean it's a bad tire. It might be bad streets, or bad luck, for example.That a person gets five flats is not a sufficient report on the quality of the tire, unless we have more information. Are these five flats from running over beer bottles? Goatheads? Pinch flat or other rim/rimstrip issue? Were the five flats caused by a single wire or piece of glass because it wasn't removed the first time? Several years ago, I had three flats in quick succession on a Marathon Supreme. It was one of those tiny wires that pokes 0.1 mm through the tire and is almost impossible to find. Once I found it and extracted it, no more flats over the next several thousand miles. Then I put them on my ladyfriend's bike, half worn out, and she hasn't had flats either. So I could report that I got three flats in a week, which would be accurate, but misleading.
