Where I ride I will run over a field of broken glass on the side of a highway I sometimes have to ride on, that glass goes on for miles till I get into the city limits, then it's all clean from there on in. I use Clear Motion Rhinodillo liners, they work much better than Mr Tuffy and they're lighter in weight. But they make tires today a lot better than they did 20 plus years ago, I'll run through that glass and rarely even slightly cut the rubber! Whereas before I would have sliced up tires. On my touring bike I use Schwalbe Almotion tires and I've been riding that same highway to get someplace, for several years, not even a slight cut; on my road bike I'm using Specialized Roubaix Pro tires and so far just a couple of nicks, but they're wearing out so next season I'm going to try something a lot different, and going with Vittoria Pave CG Open tubular tires I bought, I got those tires for less than 1/2 the retail price, with latex tubes and the Rhinodillo liners to see how they'll hold up, I also want to see how plush the ride will be vs what I currently use. I figured for $20 a tire, so what if they only last a season!
