I got a sidewall cut by riding through a patch of gravel (MUP being repaired) on my GP4000 two years ago. I assume one gravel rock had a sharp edge or glass was mixed in it. Got a puncture flat the week before that. Replaced the tire and installed Mr Tuffy in them. Got no flat since then while riding over 9,000 km (made sure I avoided gravel patches as well).
