Puncture-proof tyres...Marathon+ or bust?

There is no such thing as a puncture PROOF tyre.

Example 1. I arrived home one afternoon to find a metal staple had stuck in my tread. The Kevlar had deflected it sideways. No puncture.
Example 2. Got a puncture on a lonely rain soaked lane. A shard of broken coffee mug had gone straight through the Kevlar.
Example 3. Putting my bike in the back of the car, I noticed something in the tyre. A hawthorn thorn. No puncture. The kevlar broke the tip.

Depends where your route takes you as well.

I got my first puncture for 1800 miles in Wythenshawe yesterday. Fixed it fine, but this was during the day. No way I'd want to be stopped there at night.

M+ on the MTB when I commute anywhere dodgy.
