Nearly 50,000m on the Tenere and only 1 puncture on the rear in Argentina. Small tack. Most punctures occur on the rear due to the front tyre running over it, flicking it up at an angle and shoving it in the rear.
I was a mechanic for 20 years and once repaired a car tyre. It had a split in the tread about 2 inches long. Took the tyre off to find a bent brake pad inside !
