I read some reviews on tire liners, but got conflicting experiences
with the same tire liner.
What has been your experience?
Do thicker inner tubes help?

On our 26 by 1.95 tires I run Tuffy liners on both our bikes. I have had no problems with the liners cutting into tubes. When I place the liners in the tires before mounting them on the rims I run a piece of Gorilla tape over the joints.
With our 700 by 32c tires on both hybrids I use liners. Again. Tape over the joints.
I had run Conti tires on the hybrids but still had a few flats with the puncture resistant tires.
We have had no puncture related flats as long as we use the liners.
