Never! If you’ve got high volume tyres and don’t give that much of a shit about how your bike rides Tannus armour is quite good. We used to use them on the trailers at work

Ha! a few years ago I got so pissed off with a spate of punctures that I looked into solid tyres... however being the cheapscate I am, instead of spending big on Tannus I bought cheap chinese imports...
OMG, I rode about 5 yards up my street & gave up. The rolling resistance - it felt like my brakes were jambed on. Had to use a jack-saw to get the buggers off!also, a long time ago but I recall @dicki mentioning that he never used cycling shorts even on 100mile rides ... so narrow tyres are not an issue if you have a concrete bottom

Has anyone tried these....? Does anyone know how it compares to puncture resistant tyres like the marathon Plus?
Look forward to your thoughts!
