Are you talking about liners, like Mr Tuffys, or slime tubes?

I have a pair of Mr tuffys and when I used them, I found that they only lined an inch and a half wide down the center of the tire. I just got pissed off by them not staying place when I put in tubes and now they just sit in my spare parts box.

i got good tires,but thats no guarantee of not getting a flat .
i was just gonna give those things a try since they are only 5.95 - 10 % discount.
i am defenetly not spending 20 $ on some liners like mr tofee.for that i can buy a trained monky who can handle a patch kit and a pump.

Slime liners are basically the same thing as Tuffy strips. They weigh less than thorn resistant tubes and they work relatively well.

Or get an old tube, cut the valve off and use that as a liner.

The Tuffy strip provides a bit more protection due to the material

Or you could try reading comprehension, as in reading and quoting all of what I wrote. Yes, they perform the same function but, and that's the main difference, both products do not perform it in the same way. One is a good product that will perform flawlessly for many years, the other is a poor product that actually does damage rather than protect as designed.
