I think all you folks must be using the wrong sealant or something. Seriously. Thousands of miles on road, trail, Ozark chunky “gravel” and haven’t gotten a single flat, thanks solely to tubeless. Went out recent with tubes actually and had a damn flat within 25 miles.

I’ve only had catastrophic blowout flats with tubeless. Both were road debris. One was a thin metal plate, and the other was an IC board with a small battery attached.
Both times it went completely flat within 1-2 seconds. The gash in the tire was pinky sized.
