As far as flats, they are like any race tire, very thin and lightweight, therefore a sharp gravel or pothole will puncture them easily.
That's why they're not DOT approved.
I'll stick with DOT tires for the street, as I don't like changing tires along the roadside.
(Just had a trailer tire throw its tread coming back from Summit Point. Had to change it on I-81 with semis flashing by two feet from my backside, not fun.)

Later,
