Yep, these are the best tires hands down. And for the price of $4 for tire+tube it’s crazy inexpensive. I haven’t refilled air in mine in 600km.
@Murloc992, can I see your enclosure? How did you make that?

Standard Pav. That’s not slime… his videos are getting worse and worse by the hour.

Yeah in my mountain bike days it was a gel you put in your tires. Did you get scammed on ebay I think so.
Slime is just a brand, he’s using the film protectors there because he’s googled “Slime to prevent punctures” and bought the first thing he found on amazon. Then gone on to review it like a chump.

I am using slime and tire liners. No flats so far. Btw are you using rubber rings to protect the valves? That’s a common cause of air loss.

or dickyho airless wheels?
Pneumatics for the win, they are in a completely different ballpark

After using Slime I’ve never worried about flats anymore, ridding on the same kind of terrain

Jeez I can imagine patching your esk8 tube on the side of the road is NOT fun. Whole spare tubes would be smart, helps if they are mad cheap.
Best failsafe to carry I think would be a set of urithane wheels with pulleys you can quick swap to if you have to ride through a mile of broken glass or something.

How are you supposed to calculate the volume of slime for a tire? And is it dependant on the rider and ride type?
I wonder if you can just put some strong plastic on the inner portion of the tube.
Or if you can paint the inside of the tube with something.
As far as tires go, you can make them thicker too but I’m pretty sure bergs were pretty good.
Something like this?

Personally I think the Slime TAPE would help with small stuff like glass, sharp rocks, etc. @Lee_Wright’s test was with a full wheel with a nail pointing straight up which is not what those things were meant for.
I always had idea of putting a kevlar sheet in the tyre inner tube but never had some kevlar on hand to try it
