If you live in an area with puncturevine, either tubeless or slime filled tubes is a minimum requirement. People don’t do this and are then shocked when they have tons of flats.

I ride a hybrid and use thorn resistant tubes now. As my daily rider when I first started I was getting about 2 flats a week. After I made the switch my tubes last so long they fuse to my tires from time, heat, and friction.
