I've not had a puncture in 15000 miles.
I have had tyres go flat but that was an issue between the early Factory rims and Goodyear tyres.

That is 15,000 miles in an ultima ? You are at least 31.92 times luckier than me ! Nice to meet you at Stonleigh .

Yes, you sound surprised.

Just Under 21,000 miles. No punctures, did pick up a bolt once but tyre remained inflated.

I had visions of wide tyres being vulnerable . I just wanted to know that I had been unlucky .

I suspect the low vehicle weight and large contact area reduces the risk rather than increase it but perhaps not for you.
