Also, use largest size tube possible, for less stretch when inflated, thus less thinning of tube. So for example, if you have 1.75" section tires and they make tubes for the ranges 1.5 - 1.75", and 1.75 - 2.0", use the latter.
Now try sticking a tack through your 3 layers of tubes and see how easy that is to do.

Then try the same tack with a Rhino tire liner.

Then come back here and tell us which one worked the best, I already know the answer.

All you're doing is adding weight for no effective reason.
