I am too busy PMSL at all the 'I had 100s/zero punctures running xxxxxx model of tyre'. Nobody on this forum seems to get it, it isn't the tyres that are causing the punctures. Certainly some tyres are better than others but the incidence of punctures is an entirely random event and the nature of random events are that sometimes you will just get occasional, statistically normal punctures, sometimes you will get lots all at once and sometimes you might be lucky and get none. IT IS RANDOM!
The best plan is to be practiced and prepared for dealing with a puncture efficiently. That way, regardless of what tyres you have you can shrug your shoulders and be back on your way in 10 minutes.

Done lots and lots of miles off road all over Europe on Panarecer CX without problems , rode from Leeds on canal Friday to Liverpool ,3 punctures before Skipton !

Random they may be, but I think you minimise the impact of quality tyres, such as Conti GP 4-Seasons, as well as regular inspections and flint removal, on mitigating the risk.

you minimise the impact of quality tyres

"with" not "of" before "quality" and "chance" not "impact". The impact of getting a puncture is the same whatever tyre has punctured (OK so if the tyre's not really (as in GP4S really) tight on the rim the change of tube is easier).

The best plan is to be practiced and prepared

And while I'm on/in a semi-pedantic roll/role it's 'practised' not 'practiced'.
