You are using tire liners...just not reusable ones. This is what the liner looks like after a small rock strike threads the worthless Continental touring tires



The red bit is the liner. A user installed liner works just as well, can out live many tires and doesn't cost all that much. I've been using them since the (echoy announcer voice) Dawn of History! and haven't had many problems with them. They work most of the time to prevent flats from goatheads
