Mr Tuffy Tire Liners vs Tannus Armour Foam

I install Mr Tuffy tire liners and compare to the Tannus Armour foam inserts to see which is easier to install and which rides better.

You should ride through a thorny field with both and see if either get a flat.

They're good for that it's Thorny sidewalks that will get you

[@jesseschumacher4080]

That’s what I was hoping for. I don’t think my decision of flat protection will ride on the softness added. I actually prefer a stiffness because I get a more efficient thrust out of my pedaling. Softening is like low tire pressure that makes you do extra work.

[@scottp7587]

i also heard to run fire hose as liners.

[@johnb9005]

I once used Tannus Armour and after a while both the front and rear Armour compressed permanently to about 1/8 of an inch in thickness. I got a flat from a small metal shaving in the front tire and it went right through the Tannus Armour. I tried riding with a front tire flat with the Tannus Armour and stopped because I was concerned about the rim becoming damaged. I no longer use Tannus Armour and use some tire liners with Schwalbe Marathon Plus MTB Smart Guard. They are heavy tires and are advertised as being thick enough to not get flats from objects the size of a thumbtack. I road several thousand miles without any flats. If your bike tires are as flat resistant as car tires, that is ideal. Objects like screws and nails that give car tires a flat will also give you bike tires a flat unless you have airless tires or airless tire liners.

Interesting comparison - My personal experience riding in Southern California (Mecca for Goathead thorns) is that Tannus proves worthy. I have used several "liners" and none worked as needed. I've had the Tannus inserts w/tubes for about 6 months now and not 1 flat. I thought it would be interesting to count the thorns I picked up and pulled out, over 50 so far. I'm a believer in the Tannus solution.

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

No tire in the world for a Ebike or bicycles should ever go flat from a thorn. I am using 26x2 inch Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires on my road bike, years between flats at 10,000 miles a year. Now I need a 20x3 inch tire, but Schwalbe doesn't make one.

On my hub motor on back tire e bike, i fixed flats n put the mr tuffy liner on without taking back tire off, i use rachet strap to raise back end of bike up off ground strapped around a tree branch or beam of roof or whatever you can strap it to People when you go riding on hub motor ebike carry a rachet strap also so you can fix a flat easier if you need to, works good when putting tire back on with tire up in air, also carry bottle of unexpired bottle of green slime or 2 bottles, this saved me a few times fixing flats, best to put green slime in before you go riding, carry extra valve stems, one time green slim messed up my valve stem n couldn't pump up tire- had to put new one in, also carry steal long valve stem remover tool- one time plastic valve stem remover tool on green slime bottle broke n wouldn't take valve stem out, also carry skinny needle noise plyers- one time valve stem got stuck n valve stem remover tool wouldn't remove it Especially on a e bike people, if you got wide tires n a heavy ebike it is hard to roll back home with a flat if you are miles away

[@russelpieper4349]

UPDATE. I knew I read it somewhere, so I got out my Tannus installation guide and on page 3 under Tips For Installing Tannus Armour it states (It is common for the Amour to compress over time. It still is providing shock absorption and puncture resistance but will perform better when properly maintained. To minimize compression deflate the tires while not use. This allows the Armour compound to rebound to provide ideal performance.) So does that mean when your not riding your bike, your suppose to let the air out of the tires? I'm sorry but that's not happening. I don't know how everyone else feels, but if I would have known that earlier, I would not have purchased the Armours.

I have 2 Juiced Ripcurrent S for the last two years and had the Mr. Tuffy's in both and never had a flat. I switched to Tannus Armour and Maxxis Minion tires. IMO the Tannus inserts causes higher rolling resistance vs the Mr Tuffy's. I now have 2 months on the Tannus and for the first month the tire pressure kept dropping 2-3 psi every week. If you can do a battery range test Full to flat between the Tannus and Mr Tuffy on the same ebike and tires I would like to see those results.

So what do you prefer,? I just bought a rip current s also 🤠

[@iouzip2055]

@@jewboyjon75 I have converted all tires to tubeless.

[@snarklar]

That's what keeps me from getting them. I've heard mixed opinions on the resistance, but I don't see how it's not gonna be a little too squishy and slow for road use. Trails, I'll be on them all day. Absolutely. But for an ebike that spends more time on the road, I think I'd rather stick to double skin tubes. The amount a slightly too low tire slows you down, and drains the battery is substantial enough for me to skip them. Sucks because I like the idea and really want them, but I'll wait until I do up a straight trail ride. I really wish they would get on different composition/hardness options. And I mean it's not like they're super overpriced. But especially the fatties, are a little ridiculous for a little piece of molded foam. You don't really have much choice if you need them, and I wouldn't mind the price if I do end up needing them enough. But I've only got two flats in the past year, and both could have potentially gone right through the t.a. anyway. Big spike of glass, and then metal. Idk. Doubling an old tube or two has kept out the little dumb stuff, so.

[@Signetring54]

I just had a screw enter my back e-bike tire. It went through the tire and Mr. Tuffy liner, but the FlatOut sealant sealed the hole with very little air loss. Double your protection and double your fun. Their is nothing wrong with redundancy and it will keep you from walking your bike many miles, or save you time with an on-the-spot repair job. Who knows what type of weather conditions await you? I did not notice any different ride quality with both of the tire protector products. I love your videos on Rad Bike upgrades. Ready to pull the trigger on the Area 13, Bolton E-Bike, controller upgrade for my wife's Rad Mini ST.

[@orionxavier6957]

I use Mr Tuffy tire liners and slime tire sealant, they stop everything except nails and screws. I've learned to avoid construction areas because they spill nails all over the streets... 😠 I'm also familiar with the more comfortable ride when I was using Schwalbe Marathon tires which had a thick rubber compound. But that was on thin tires on a hybrid bike. With fat tires you get a similar effect so the ride isn't so harsh that I would favor the Tannus armor over what I use currently.

[@PinballClinic]

Was getting crazy flats on the rear of my Ariel Rider X-Class which is a 20x4.0 size. Installed a Mr. Tuffy and have yet to get a flat in over 1,000 miles mostly off-road. My original rear tire had gotten somewhat large holes ripped in it and the tire liner started to become the tire lol. The tire never went flat, even with the liner showing through! I found the install to be not as easy as I thought. I wish the Mr. Tuffy could stick to the inside of the tire with some mild adhesive. It seemed like the liner might slide to one side or the other if you're not careful.

[@happycamper3455]

... Ive been using Mr. Tuffy on 26x4 and have 2 flats 6000 km from 3inch finishing nails .. they seem to be fairly thorn resistant... to hold the Tuffy in place i use bits of tuck tape/venture tape ..works well to hold it in place ..

I wonder how it would feel and give you confidence if you installed both at the same time. Did you also notice any major difference with the top speed and angular momentum?

[@CitizenCycle925]

i did not notice any top speed difference but really didn't specifically test that either. i would bet the foam liners might reduce speed a little, more rotating mass....

[@RideTannus]

Like CitizenCycle mentions in his comment, Tannus Armour may have a little bit more rotating mass where we are a foam insert. The two are compatible together but that's emptying your wallet even more. We feel one or the other is sufficient. Obviously Tannus being our choice! Its good stuff. Like riding on the clouds.

*Want a really smooth ride? Take some baby powder (or foot powder) and put about 1/4 cup over the tire as well as inside the tire casing, dumping some in and turning the tire in your hand so the Baby Powder (talic) evenly distributes. This will make for a very supple ride as you prevent the tire from sticking to the tire casing inside which also increases chafing and hence tube wear and seam leaks). I have been a UBI Pro Mechanic and used this for bikes since the early 90's Even for ebikes too. (My first was an "ebike" but Ebike brand from 1999) For my spare tube I keep one in a ziplock bag with the talic in coating everything nice. Trust me it really makes a huge difference!*

[@randomactsofcooking]

My observation on the Mr Tuffy liners. Yes, they do reduce the goats head thorn punctures. If you get a tuff thorn and it breaks off and the pointy part stays in the tire after more riding the thorn WILL get thru the tube. Yes the rolling resistance is less, however the ride over gravel/sidewalk cracks is much rougher.

[@TheFXofNewton]

With Slime liners I've got numerous things embedded in the tire and even take small chunks out of tires, revealing the green lining without puncturing. Have had flats from thorns just missing the liner, though.

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

How long do the Tannus last under suggested lower pressure? How long do Tannus last under full rated pressure? Tannus admits to their liners becoming compressed after time, what is that time? OR more specific: I will be trying Tannus liners in a 20x3 inch tire on a LectricXP3.0 bike of 65 pounds, my weight is 200lbs, Tire pressure will be 40psi, and road conditions will be all very good asphalt.

Riding the neighborhood I had 3 flats in the first couple months. Always the back tire. I put on some Continental bike tires, 29 X 2.25s, and Tuffy liners. No more flats. Flat tires ruin the whole concept of bicycling for older riders like me. I can't be walking the bike home several miles. The last time I hid it in some bushes, walked home, got the car and came back. Dollar for dollar, I think the Tuffys make more cents. An object longer than the foam is thick will flatten a foam lined tire. The Tuffy liners are actually tough. Liked your vid.. Try not to talk too much, talky videos get on my nerves.

I threw my old rusty bike behind a bush when the bus driver told me a bike is additional $25 fare, it was still there 5 days later upon return

[@JHOFF111]

Aren't u supposed to wrap that on top of the tube? U seemed to shove both on there, idk, how do u know it's in the correct position?

[@CitizenCycle925]

the Tannus is shaped just like the tire, i usually stuff it in there first then slip the tube inside it. you could also put the tube in the tannus first then shove both in the tire at same time, either way it pretty easy to fit.

[@stevenbenavente1229]

Lol don't kid yourself. Since I bought a fat tire ebike I had 4 flats & it's always the back tire, now I got tire liner & tannus armor & slime in tube. I never had a flat on my 26x2.50 tire. Them damn 20x4 are a MAGNET

[@guyfletcher3912]

Okay, the Tannus prevents a puncture but now you have a foreign object embedded in your tire that you are unaware of. Sooner or later it is compressed through the Tannus to the tube. And you don't mention how much of a problem it is to fix a tire with the Tannus already installed.

[@emaguigad]

Hi CC - great video as always. Would it hurt to put the liners and tannus or is it overkill?

[@noahmelville1800]

Better Idea use the knew cement block tires. They are impervious to flats, and stay at a constant 100 psi!

[@rickyn1135]

I have to watch this again. I fell asleep last time. Lol. I was just looking at these Liners Today,on Amazon.

[@melvinbelcher7606]

I got a large staple in my rear but the liner deflected it.

[@RideTannus]

That is awesome! That's the goal. Cheers

[@kengunnett2017]

The question not asked or answered, what about both? When I do Mr. Tuffy, I use strips of black tape to hold the liner to the tube, and when it gets to a certain pressure, the tape releases but everything is in place.

[@chrisz8334]

Hello. I was looking at new liners. Same thing for me almost. About 20 miles on Aventon Aventure and have a flat back tire. Do the Tanis you refer to reduce mileage because the are squishy so it's harder on the motor???

[@myreligionisreality3677]

I've had the tannus on my Radrunner since March this year. Only 1 flat and that's because some A-Hole shot at me with a Pellet gun. How do I know I was shot at? The Pellet was inside my Rim when I changed the Tube. 😡

[@kenneth7197]

I just purchased my first ebike(Juiced Ripcurrent) and hear that it is a real pain-in-the-ass changing a flat on the rear tire with Hub motor and all, especially trying to fix it out on a bike ride so I think I'm going to go with the Tannus Armour!!!

[@CitizenCycle925]

Changing out the back tire is not as hard as you think but I would certainly rather do it in my garage than on the side of the road

[@Skupperful]

@@CitizenCycle925 I've recently bought a R&M Load 60 cargo e-bike and I've tried changing the back tyre in my garage just to find out how easy/difficult it is. I found that it's pretty impossible without some means of suspending the back of the bike above the ground (which is doable in the garage). The bike is too heavy to get upside-down. With it the right way up, you can't hold the back up with one hand (because it's too heavy) and take the wheel off the chain with the other (too fiddley). I've seen a Propel video where he looks at ways at suspending it from a tree branch, but who knows if there'll be a handy tree with a low limb where you get the puncture? I think there's no realistic option in the event of a roadside flat in the back tyre other than to walk the bike home, so I plan to invest in the Tannus Armour before that happens. Thanks for this useful video.

[@vieuxacadian9455]

I have been running liners since they first hit the market , ugh ,,, 22+ years ( gee now I 'm old ) . Those Tannus look interesting . In the 1970s bmx riders had solid polyurethane " Honeycomb tread" tires . Some loved them and some hated them .

[@mctdj78]

Question do you have to use the battery on the E bike or can you just write it like a regular bike and choose when to use the battery

[@CitizenCycle925]

You don't need to turn the bike on You can ride it as a regular bike with no power

[@TheOceanMan-xc7qp]

Thank you yet again...I will be getting a pair based on your review

[@donparsons1237]

Why not both at the some time,,, one would think that using both at the same time would lesson the chances of a flat... Hopefully you do a review testing both of them at the same time... Bet 10 too 1 that folks would be intrested is finding out if it decreases the chances of eliminating flats

[@kevinmccune682]

Nice guns,like your presentation, no "eeees and uhhs" and you are getting more knowledgeable all the time, keep up the good work!

[@RideTannus]

Great Video *CitizenCycle!* You're hired! 🤘

[@nataldiego]

How was the Mr. Tuffy líners? Do you had any puncture? Nice video very usefull info🤙🏽 gracias 👍🏼

[@CitizenCycle925]

have not had any punctures, seems to be fine, don't really notice they are in there...

[@mica7966]

Lol I just ordered tannus armour for the altra duo yesterday and now watching your vid had 2 rear flats like you say mite as well have a nice ride to ..

[@haroldkerwinjr3026]

Can both be used at same time?

[@dixienormis3614]

Is it true that Tannus flattens out over time and becomes useless?

[@CitizenCycle925]

i have taken it out before and yes it gets pretty thin, i think the higher you have the tire pressure the thinner it gets.

[@dixienormis3614]

@@CitizenCycle925 Thanks, after watching your video I went with Mr Tuffy's, so far so good! Thanks for the great content my friend!

[@PCDoctorUSA]

If Schwalbe would make fat tires with their patented puncture resistant lining we wouldn't need liners or foam inserts. I loved my RadRover but the flats were killing me. Never could get the Mr. Tuffy Liners to sit right so instead I cut open the tube I was replacing along the inside circumference and then wrapped it over the new tube thus creating an extra layer of rubber. That plus the addition of Slime worked well. If I did get a puncture that made it through both layers, the Slime slowed things down enough so I could make it home.

[@aznsushi41]

Can you put the liners with tannus?

[@pauliedriver4127]

Great video I’m new to ebikes and and have a Rad rover 6 with tannus liners coming this year thanks for a great demo on liners new sub great job

[@mixflip]

I run both as well. So far both have not failed me. Of topic. What tires do you recommend for 20x4 ebikes for off road? My original tires are already bald at 100 miles.

[@kennethlian3585]

i guess it is quite off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?

@Kashton Sebastian Thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it!

[@kashtonsebastian4802]

@Kenneth Lian happy to help =)

[@sliqindustries4782]

Do you run both in the same tire? Ultimate puncture protection lol

[@stevemullin1195]

I ride a recumbent trike and have the tannus airless tires. But thinking of going back to Schwalbe Big Apple Plus tires 2.15" wide and put the Tannus Armour in....wonder what this does to the rolling resistance. Looking for a tire for riding on gravel and rail trails along with roads.

[@frankconti7529]

can you cut it like a duct tape by the time you tuck it inside the tire shield?

[@vueyang9219]

Will them thing fit and goes with the ariel rider grizzly..?

[@440pressurewashing]

Could you link ware u got tire pump

[@seriouscyrus33]

This review was more about Mr. Tuffy tire liners not being as good as that other brand from his opinion. Either one is good, you will not get a tread flat, side wall punctures are rare but if that is a concern for you, then pay the extra cash. If you can afford a multi thousand dollar e bike then get the higher end tire liners. Mr. Tuffy is still a good investment. The tannus armor cost $79.99 for 26x1.95-2.25 Or $18 for Mr. Tuffy and tuffy liner won't loosing your spokes, is reusable and biodegradable.

[@christopherperry4212]

I have a 20” x 3” fat tire EBike , what size Tannus tire liner do I buy

[@RickyEats]

Where you bought that ebike?

[@AccordionSqueezer]

the first thing I did when I unboxed my Himiway Cruiser, was install Tannus liners, and squirted some Flat Out slime into the tube... did that with my Radrover way back when I still had it

[@CitizenCycle925]

What do you think of the ride? Do you feel the difference? I really notice it.

[@supermanishere-vz4pz]

would try tannus armor, but unfortunately they don't make liners for 27.5 x 4.5 fat bikes 😔
