Yes, great for protection. I have them on my bike and the ride is just fine, too, for me. Extra weight over a comparable tire without the 'dillo's flat protection is probably less than two ounces.
dillo's roll like **** and for many offer more flat protection than necessary. I can't remember my last flat, and I don't run tires that are anywhere near as thick or stiff as dillos.
For the record, I have used dillos in the past and have gotten flats with them.
