I have to remove the valves on at least 50% of the TL tires I install at the shop...and we have a BIG compressor.

It's a mess when you inevitably do flat.
Most of the TL tires don't have the ride quality of a nice clincher.
They're heavier but I don't even really care about the weight.
I like being able to inflate my tires w/o needing a compressor.
