Another way to minimize flatting is to install tire liners. These are
strips of kevlar or plastic that are inserted in the tire between the
tread and the tube. They are basically just adding an extra layer of
protection between the tire and tube. The most popular of these is made
by Mr. Tuffy.
While these products do reduce flatting, our preference
is to use tire sealants. Most foreign objects that can work their way
through the tire casing will also eventually get through a tire liner.
Where they really help is with larger objects such as thorns that don't
embed themselves in the tire.
