What is the exact size of tires you're using?
I've been using Tannus solid tires (700x23) on my winter commuter since mid-winter this year. I have some mixed opinions on them, but I like the idea of fewer flats, and not being stuck out in the rain. Plus no need to carry pump, spare tube, and patch kit (unless I pull my trailer).
Here is a longer thread that I've posted a few times to.

- Slightly harsher ride (700x23) than pneumatic tires.
- Slightly higher rolling resistance than pneumatic tires
- Somewhat lower traction when wet.
.
- A few really big gashes in them, but no "flats".
- Wear is good. I have somewhere around 1000 miles, and can barely detect wear on the rear. Still have center ridge on the front. No dry skids so far, but a few wet skids with no appreciable wear.
I typically get fewer flats during the summer, and use standard tube tires on the rest of my bikes.
Another competitor is Peram. They make a solid tube to put inside of your own tire. It looks like they now have a few up on Amazon.

I'm also seeing, Greentyres, but the reviews I'm reading are very harsh.
