One has to watch out for tubes
which are asymmetrical and only thicker towards the running surface.
Those are not as good as tubes that are thick all around.


squirrels carry blowguns n wait in the scrub ?


No, pinch flats that can occur when hitting surprise objects such as
rocks or during "unplanned excursions off of the beaten path". As
happened yesterday on my road bike. Had a runny nose, took both hands
off the bar for a few seconds ... RAT-TAT-TAT

Then there is the debris that gets flipped up when rolling over it and
pierces the side wall.

If bicycle tires had sturdy side walls the chances would be lower. But
they don't.
