Also, have you checked for any abrasion on the inner tube where the Tuffy liner ends meet? Any problems there? Thanks.
That's why I use smaller 23mm tire inside my 25mm tire as my liner--it's continuous with no edges to cause abrasion on the tube. You can choose the thickness/protection you want by selecting the type of tire of course. From super light and thin racing tire like a 23mm Vittoria EVO to 23mm Ultra Gatorskin--these will fit inside a 25mm Gator Hardshell or Marathon just fine.

I use 23mm Vittoria Zaffiro Pros inside 25mm Gator Hardshells mostly. They are cheap ($20) and work very well--heck if you have/find a pair of old worn racing/training tires laying around they are free.
