I ran Tuffy liners in my tires on my old Ross Mt. Rainier for around ten years. No flats. No issues. That being said, I see no reason for them in this case. I used them in the 80s because I was riding off road and had flats on every ride due to hawthorns. After the liners, no flats. they worked well. On the road with the Marathons, no need.
