Alright, I have to add more to this thread.

I put the tire liner on my street hybrid and the inner tube exploded! I couldn't believe it and these are my conclusions.

1. Don't inflate the tire to the max -- After inserting the tire liner, you should not inflate the tire to the max because I the tire was hard already at 90%.

2. Schrader tubes more likely to blow --- The tube that blew up had a scharder value and the explosion occured at the valve. Once this happens, the entire tube is useless and discarded.

I'm still going to put the liner back on my touring bike to get more miles on the rear wheel but I'm not inflating them to max. Life is a learning experience.
