Not the Halfords ones! They slip about and caused a blowout 7 miles into my ride. First time I had to use my inflation/repair foam can which didn't work as the hole was too big (gone back to carrying a tube!)
A 7 mile ride home on a flat tyre wasn't much fun. Was using Armadillos at the time which allowed me to ride flat, albeit at a very slow speed but better than walking.
Using Velox now as it sticks in place but didn't think about rotting, getting wet etc,.
