Moved to a new area where these plants are very common. Have had 5 flats lately because of them.
Looking for thick casing tire recommendations, I ride about 80% paved surface, 20% packed gravel.
Currently running tubes in a Cannondale Topstone.
Thanks in advance!

Tubeless is the answer to your question.
I don’t think there is a tire or liner that can 100% withstand goat heads. Tubeless is the only thing I know that works. Just pull them out at the end of the ride and spin the tire around until everything seals.
