I bought into the Specialized meme and got these tyres for a bikepacking trip I'm doing in a few weeks. Been commuting on them on Sweden's cycle paths for a couple of months now and have had about 5 flats. Idk if it's shitty tubes, punctures in the tyres or pinch flats but it's frustrating as hell and I feel like I've wasted my money on these. And at €80 for the pair, I expected much better.

Any ideas what could be causing so many flats? I run them at 5 bar (limit is 5.5) and do most of my riding on clean cycle paths, only really ride dirt or gravel at the weekends. I'm gonna try Continental tubes because I never had problems with them on my last tour.
