JC Date Reviewed: April 22, 2012 Strengths: They do stop most things that can go thru the tire, the material is hard to cut but it is good to smooth off the ends so they don't cut into the tube, I have even used a file to smooth the ends, seems like work but can be worth it if you get a lot of Goat's heads or other sharp points thru your tires. Weaknesses: Takes a little work to make them work right. Bottom Line:

from Toronto Canada Date Reviewed: April 17, 2010 Strengths: In 4 years never has a flat. Tires wear down and get square tread before i change them. I got about 8000 miles out of a pair of Michelin Pro 2's. I rotate the tires every 1500 miles. I have them on all my bikes. Weaknesses: To prevent getting a flat tire as mention on previous reviews, just get a pair if scissors aend round off each end before instalation. I had that problem with another set of tire liners. I forget the name but they were orange and hand a black stripe doen the middle. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Nashbar Bike Setup: Round off each end with scissors. When cutting do it on an 45 degree angle to taper the end to prevent pucturing the tube.
