Ha! This sounds like a solution for me. I am afraid of getting stuck somewhere having only Marathon+ and suffer from the poor ride quality while I might not really need them for the particular area. Taking the liners along for a far-away venture does not seem that taxing - I take minor maintenance and repair items anyway. Is there any particular brand of the liners that one should choose? Are ultralight liners just as good? I anyway ride always tires that have some reinforcement but occasionally clearly not strong enough. Any supplementary liner advice? Thanks.
