I installed some Tannus armour inserts into both of my tyres recently and was about to write a negative review about how much drag they add to the point where I started looking into tubeless or e-bikes.
Turns out I had messed up the rear wheel alignment so the disc brake was dragging all the time.
Without a permanently engaged brake they ride quite nicely and add a bit of bouncy squishiness.
Can't say anything about how puncture proof they are yet. Running them in 700x38c Voyager Hyper tyres.
Before that I had a Voyager Hyper in the front and a Marathon Green Guard in the back and about 5 punctures in the last year all but one in the back.
