Where I am, there are several types of plants with sharp spikes on them. They are impossible to avoid, if you go where I go.
Yes of course there are lots of variables. But I got a lot of punctures when running tubed tyres. We live in a rural area full of prickly plants and farm vehicles spreading debris all over the roads. So I would say it’s a good test for puncture resistance. For that reason I do tend to run tyres that have a high puncture resistance rating (currently Pirelli Cinturato Velo). With a good quality sealant, these appear to be bullet proof. I certainly don’t see any need for a tube inside.
