I've found tire liners to be way more of a pain than they're worth. Granted I'm sure they've changed/improved the design since but I even saw a tire liner wear through a tube once causing a flat...

Personally I'll go for a high quality tire. I've had great luck with armadillos. Not so great luck with Gatorskins. And pretty good luck with Panaracer Pasela Tourguards. I've been riding Schwalbe Marathon winters since about mid-december and haven't had any issues there either.

I haven't had a flat in a few years... *knocks on wood* most of that riding done at 28c Armadillos.
