I run the Bontrager sealant-filled tubes on my MTB. Plenty of goat heads around here, and the tubes do seal effectively, even after the goat head is pulled out. I am running these at roughly 32-35 psi, and usually what happens is I pull the goat head out, a small puff of air escapes, and the tube seals. I've not hit a nail or anything big like that yet.
