Sometimes there are situations where tire liners are the only solution in beefing up a flat prone tire.

I've recently changed to Maxxis Detonator tires which are a perfect fit for my type of riding and commute, but are notorious for flats because of the very soft compound. Since I'm overweight, I have to run these tires at maximum pressure (100 psi) which means that any type of slime solution is out of the question, so I'm looking at installing tire liners.

Would this type of setup work, or would I end up having more flat's because of the edges of the liners?
