There are also very tough plastic liners you can put between the tire and the inner tube. At some point picked up a 1 cm cut in the the tire that this inner layer not only prevented a puncture but kept the whole tire/tube/wheel together until I noticed it by happenstance weeks later. Search for Mr. Tuffy liner but there are others.

Tried them, felt bad, was harder to drive. The same goes for stuff like Schwalbe Marathon. When i look back into the times where i bicycled more, i wonder how i managed with the tires which had just a thin mesh of wires embedded? I feel like the modern stuff has more planned obsolescence built in. Tubeless makes no sense economically to me, so i go with a small can of breakdown spray.
