I used to ride 20+ miles/32km per day, 4-5 days/week for my commute. Most of it was on an isolated bike path through the countryside, so not much glass and a lot more thorns.
I went from having a dozen or so flats in a few months to having pretty much none just by changing tires. If flats are common for you, better tires could probably help.
Regardless, I’m jealous of you being able to ride your bike that much. My current commute is just too far to commute by bike (it’s like 25mi/40km each way), so I end up riding like 1-2x/week just to the local store for groceries.
So you replace your tires twice/year? I do it like every 3+ years. Then again, I don’t race or anything, my bike is just for transportation.
