The photos below are of my Michelin S12 with 90 hours on it...mostly ridden at 5psi Occasionally zero psi, and sometimes at 10psi if on an organised trail ride with gravel road sections.

Once you get the hang of fitting (and maintaining!!!) the setup they are pretty bulletproof. And a puncture takes mere minutes to sort and you are off again. Not like getting a puncture in a tube

While there was still some rubber left, a nice new nobbly with sharp edges gets up up the steep stuff with a whole lot less drama

An added bonus of having a tyre last so long, is when you eventually swap it for a new one, you have mastered the bike with poor traction for so long you look like a pro when the new tyre 'gives you wings'

I put off doing the rear tyre on my 250 for way to long. Was like a whole new bike!! Hmm might need to look into the tubliss
