Should I put sealant in perfectly healthy tyre? I have tufo extreme.
You shouldnt put ammonia containing sealant in latex inners. But otherwise its up to you. This is pretty much all sealants except those from cafe latex AFAIK
Should I carry spare stretched glued tub AND sealant on a ride or just the spare if I have sealant inside tyres?
As Dammit says, if the sealant already in the tyre didnt fix Things. Then adding more probably wont. So just do one of these Things.
In case of puncture when I take the tyre off the rim how much should I bother with getting the glue off rim? If I dont would the pre-glued spare tub stick to it well?
You'll want to keep Things dry. But I wouldnt bother Beyond peeling anything loose off.
I have 60mm rims and vittoria corsa cx (III I think) tubs and the shop said the valve core comes off with the tool (which I have) whats the difference between that and extensions? Is one better than other?
Dunno. I only have Extensions.
Personally I wouldnt put sealant in nice new tyres, unless they were training/commuting tubs. For most rides I just carry some pressurised sealant. For epic stuff. Sealant + a pre-glued tub.
