Ditto on the park boots not sticking but so far only needed to try them on TL tires. Read/heard somewhere that the innards of TL tires have a different compound that is pro slime, anti stick. Tested it with the gorilla tape and was ok-ish. But maybe the glue on the boots and maybe even the tape is starting to fade? Ended up gluing a big and rather tough tube patch to the inside of the tire. I start to think about carrying flexy plastic bits again.
Something else I came across. The fit on some of these new TL tires with certain rims, is so tight that it goes well past Conti tough and into the realm of nearly impossible to mount unless cool ,calm, collected and in the shop.
