I have had three rock punctures with my hoosiers in the last two season's, They seem to be pretty thin.

Never had any issues with front tires. Maybe I am lucky. I had old Moroso's on Weld prostars for years, Then DS-2s on Monocoques for several years. I went to the new Mickey Thompsons a couple of years ago and they also have been good. This also was on Monocoques and now with new Mickey Thompson rims. I always use new metal valve stems. No problems so far with any of these.

I'm using nitrogen in the moroso drag specials. It is less prone to losing air pressure because of the larger molecular structure of nitrogen. The pressures are more consistant.

TOYO claims they have the truest "in round" tire available. Also, I believe, the most expensive.
