If the answer is the sharp edge and ends- DUH- no kidding!!
Tape them-fabric rim tape-old fashion 1st aid tape-or duck tape or even package tape -gotta take the edge off them-and tape them

Tire Liners: Personal experience, as well as many friends.

Sing Praises IF - Tires are FAT, Pressures are LOW (less than 50-60 psi), Tubes are THICK (aka heavy duty/thorn proof).

Scream CURSES IF - Tires are SKINNY, Pressures are HIGH (more than 80-90 psi), Tubes are THIN (aka road/light weight).


Tube sealants: Personal experience, as well as many friends.

​Pretty much same as above.
