Doesn't that defeat the point of having a TL tire
I gave up on Continental after having a large sidewall tear on the gp4ks2. I enjoyed them for the minimal amount of miles they provided, but not enough to tempt fate again. I haven't had any experience with TL sealant outside of Mavic's stuff, but it seems to plug up goat heads really well. It also strikes me as odd that their sealant is sold out nearly everywhere, and the origin of manufacture is some random nation.
