Once every hundred miles? I am completely serious when I say that, pre-Stan's, my rate was better than 1 every 5 miles, and this on pavement where Kojaks went 100 miles between goathead flats (100 per is *damned good!*).
The F Fred is just about as thin as the Elk Pass, and tubeless with sealant, riding in dirt where goatheads abound, punctures are no longer a problem, as long as I top up every 90 days or so. I think that the Elk will do just fine with sealant in the tube. The Elk is 559X32.
