Big Apples are okay and I have never had a flat with them but the best "flat resistance" they say is the Schwalbe Marathon Supreme. I have them on my Surly LHT and like them well. To me they don't seem to roll as well as the BAs. I have had the best of luck with Schwalbe Tires. I even run BAs on a tandem, I just love these tires.
