I saw these in a local dept. store the other day, and was wondering if anyone has used them before. I recently pinch flatted on 3 occaisions the other day, and was looking into these as a replacement. any feedback, good or bad is accepted.
Never heard of them. But unless they're solid rubber inserts you put inside your tire, it's not gonna do anything for pinch flatting.

You've said enough right there. Avoid them like loan sharks or you'll get a beating everytime.
If they're those thick plastic inserts that go around the tubes, they're somewhat effective, but you're better off buying some quality ones from an online retailer. I've heard good things about Spin Skinz and they're really lightweight, made of kevlar. But like I said.. nothing besides running extra pressure in your tires will help prevent pinch flatting.
Or running tubeless tires, which I highly recommend.
Another alternative is running Stan's sealant.

I second the notion for Stan's!
