On a "technique" note, I have been holding the liners in the tires with double-sided foam tape rated for "outdoor" use. Any double-sided tape would probably be OK, as its only function is to hold the liner in place while the tire is mounted. Eight (8) one-inch strips are sufficient, and this makes the mounting of the tire a whole lot less awkward.
Heh... on review, I seem to have renewed my membership in the Department of Redundancy Department.
