Since you tour on a light road bike, you might want to research tubeless on that type of bike.

I have read that some roadies that used tubeless on high pressure skinny tires had problems cornering, If a tire bead shifted enough that some air could "burp" out of the tire, the sudden loss of pressure could cause a crash.

I have no clue if an airliner could prevent that or not. Google airliner for road tubeless tires if you are not familiar with it.

Since I have never tried tubeless and probably never will, I am not speaking from experience, only what I have read. Good luck.
