The GR tires I got were the GRREN version. I don't think there is any
puncture protection, and I doubt they are any less susceptible to flatting
than the Hetre EL version. For that you would want the BLUE version of
the GRs, which likely has somewhat different ride characteristics. As you

61cm Atlantis with Shimano Deore/Sugino/Tektro/Silver 'group', beefy 36h
Nitto is notoriously conservative so it could be rated for something like
that. But having had the HAR in my hands, it's well built I wouldn't
