But, it all depends on flat types, and miles ridden.
That, and riding conditions as well as maintenance.
Debris, wet, and dark all boost the number of flats since hitting more stuff, having stuff hidden by water/darkness, and having it lubed definitely leads to more flats. Likewise, regularly inspecting tires and removing shards and bits of wire before they work themselves all the way in makes a big difference.
Tire type also definitely matters, but the only way to get no flats is to ride only clean roads -- all tires can get flats.
