No More Flat Tires! Tannus Airless Tires 1 Month Review & Test Ride

[@joshalum732]

I lived in Japan for 12 years and only after I moved back to the states, I got into cycling. It’s been fun watching your videos to see what it would be like to ride in Japan. Also beautiful bike my friend!

[@SxBxT]

yuki so if you can chose where you can live what will be your choice japan or USA.. .?

[@hfdcjiirjmcfi]

@@SxBxT I am curious too

[@yvan2218]

Funny how this type of tyre makes cycling also go full circle, coz the earliest wheels and tyres in bikes were solid rubber. Dunlop, the guy who made pneumatic tires, wanted his child to not bounce around when biking, hence made the earliest version of air tyres.

[@izamfirdaus2921]

oh man, im really digging the whole color scheme, i bet your spider-sense vastly improved while riding

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Too bad no Spiderman kit, but just wait till I ride with my red/blue McD kit

[@xbmarx]

I may try this on my commuter bike. Sounds really nice. But let's all take a moment to appreciate the colors on that bike, it's dope. The reason I've always hesitated on airless tire is because breaking a spoke would... suck. But that sucks either way, and flats are 1000x more common.

[@stevenleslie8557]

Just bought some for the back wheel of my e-mtb, due to never ending flat tires. When I started my first ride with them it felt much smoother while going over rocks. I actually thought the tire was underinflated, but when I stopped to check it I found it to be fine. The rest of my ride was great and the tire behaved just as advertised. I also had a degree of confidence that I was not going to have a flat in the middle of my ride. I've only had one ride so far, but it was a very positive experience!

[@gregorykennedy264]

The extra weight doesn’t “tire me out” 😂😂

[@CycoPatPonfe]

😂❤️🚴🏼‍♂️ pa-dam-Dish! 👍

[@Henjo29]

It would be interesting to see how these tires wear over time in comparison to others. It's nice not having to worry about punctures. The last time I had a flat, I ended up walking about 6K. It was due to a default in the tube.

[@mcgothbox1]

I got a set of Tannus airless tires after watching your videos. I will say they were quite hard to get installed. I was able to get them on the rim using zip ties which came from a separate video, that part was more or less the easy part. Once I got them on latching the little pegs in was the part that was rough. I am super glad i got the P tool or I may have flipped a table trying snap them in. I think the P tool should be standard. After riding them this weekend, I do not think I will ever go back to pneumatic tires, goat heads and my tires do not get along.

[@gordonmculloch4904]

Nice review. These tyres look like a really good idea. There's nothing worse that a flat tire, on a cold morning, on your way to work. 🚴 👍

[@brauljo]

I'm definitely going airless for my next tires, I already use Tannus Armor and on my mountain bike and it's great!

[@Radnally]

I use tubes with Stans sealant in them. I live in the land of goats heads and have not had a flat in 2 years.

[@blu0065]

I hear that stans in clinchers doesn't work well with larger punctures. Thenagain, my punctures are all goatheads as well...

[@lesterroberts1628]

do you leave the thorns in or take them out?

[@jsnklsr5639]

I like your impressions. I looked into them a bit more since you mentioned them on your channel and saw that they have "Tannus armour", which you would put between the tube and the tyre. I see them as an alternative for people who want to have more variation in tyre pressure. Maybe something you also could look into, if you continue to be stuck in Japan.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks! I've heard really good things about the armor

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Agreed, stick with what works, I've been using the Schwalbe GT365 which are heavy and uncool but only get problems when I change to others. Great to see the sakura thanks for sharing.

[@paulojrg]

Thank you for your opinion I have been thinking about their "Armour" in between protection because that way you keep the tires you're used to, plus if anything structural happens it's easier to repair on the road. Even this system will always be heavier than a glued tubular but the tubes are smaller and as you pointed no need to carry a pump, spare tube, tools, etc.

[@paganmonkey4439]

Fairplay to you brother enjoy life. Riding the specialised roubaix on 28 inch tyres feels great to. Vittoria corsa are the tyres good puncture resistant yours look nice and visual.

[@acorncz4752]

Why is this not a standard. I love this idea it's so simple and effective

[@darquesand]

Actually I want to hear your voice so I could learn more about the tires. Thank you for your review.

[@BruceChastain]

I think these would be great for commuting depending on where you ride. When I was commuting in Switzerland, the roads are pretty clean, during my 8 years of nearly daily commuting, I think I only had one flat. But here in Florida, I'm sure I'm going to see more flats, just by looking at all the glass and random stuff on the sides of the road.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

The sides of US roads can get really nasty 😥

[@CareFreeCommuting]

I ride marathons on gravel roads and regular ones...they’re pretty indestructible...and I do like playing with tire pressure considering I vary on riding the surfaces. Thx for the review, well done.

[@wvn8v]

These tires were a nightmare. Felt like riding through peanut butter. Purchased and installed the 700 x 28 size on my road bike. The warmer the temperature, the more sluggish the tires felt as the compound became softer. It actually felt like the tires were sticking to the pavement. Put a total of 30 miles on them and, because of a terrible return policy, basically cut them off and tossed them. $150 down the drain.

[@lil----lil]

One cold winter night w/rain over a bridge I had a flat. I've never gone back to pneumatic tires.

[@breederfly]

I put these on a Bacchetta recumbent. In warm weather the tires tended to allow an unstable roll side to side, tossing me into traffic when the bike was loaded for touring. I finally had to drop out and SAG. Being. Thrown into traffic was beyond terrifying!

[@adamweb]

Great follow-up, thank you! Definitely getting some of these when I replace my current Marathon+ tires!

[@iconoclast5278]

In the UK right now we are in the middle of the farmers hawthorn hedge cutting season; I do all the puncture proofing including Gatorskin tyres, I have had 6 punctures now in three weeks. These Tannus tyres make a lot of sense to me if you're not concerning yourself with times, and lets be honest who other than those in an actual event should be bothering about times.

[@BenBilesBB-box]

just got some nexo ( also red , only red available and could find Tannus on amazon or anywhere ) for me and my brompton in Niigata Japan.. I find the tires get warm on a long ride and sometimes you can feel the back drift a bit especially when there are lines in a path or something. Brompton wheels are only 16" diameter so the wheels turn faster for the same speed so I can understand why they get warm... anyway , thanks for the Video..

[@federicomaisch6812]

Thank you for showing us Japan

[@johnq.public2621]

Nice! Very relate-able video. Good color scheme on your ride! :)

[@chesshooligan1282]

I've got a Gatorskin in the rear and a fast tyre in the front. I got one puncture in the last five years, and it was in the rear. That's how it goes.

[@AJ_Lucas]

Your commentary while riding is exemplary.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

I had these on my fixie for years. Highly recommended them for pure road or pavement use. The ride is ‘harder’ and heavier. I’d recommend getting those with tread not slicks. Now I had a fixed gear on a 12 tooth cog so if you have gears it shouldn’t be an issue. They are expensive so you need to be prepared to ‘invest’.

[@paul_laws]

Pardon the pun but thanks for the solid review 😁 Keep safe you two. Matane.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thank you very much!

[@milkdud3618]

220lbs rider who got the 105 psi type and tried them first on my rollers. Tires got really hot and felt like riding through deep mud. Road ride worked out well except I have to put out a lot more watts when climbing. Great commuter tire or riding with the slow group tire. I think slow rebound of the material is to blame for slower speed riding. It does work you out harder. I thought I ordered the high pressure version but they sent me the softer tires. I bought a set of pneumatic wheel set in case I can’t find a slow group to ride with on weekends

[@shiloh4184]

[@robk2738]

[@andythousand345]

Great review, Cruise. You both are doing s fantastic job.

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Thanks!

[@kaseycarpenter73]

I've been on the exact same tires (red 700c) for about 2 years now - sure they weigh a bit more than normal tires, but I also don't have to carry a pump/C02, patches, tire irons, tubes, etc... I love them! they are a little sketchy in the rain (to me) but NOT any more than a typical 120psi racing slick. I just love the freedom to ignore what is on the ground. Glass? keep on riding. Caveat: I paid to have them installed :) so I skipped the painful install process. If you look at these as training/commute replacements, be sure to build them up on some bomb-proof rims, and you won't worry about your wheels in the event of a pulled spoke, etc... Now if they only made a 650bx50 version that replicated about 50 psi...

[@ElitePWNSFace]

I got a my first road bike(hybrid) last September. After every ride. I swear i have a flat when i come back to ride the next time. Aka i have to spend time changing a flat instead of riding. Only to return home with another flat. I am going to give these a shot. I ride for fun so i don't think the pressure will matter all the much for me.

[@luis6876]

its so convenient especially on the long rides! absolutely 0% chance of flat even through glass thorns whatever

[@yinshantang]

Ｉgot a flat tire every other road ride in summer. Tired of the tires. I now ride my mountain bike only leaving the road bike in the garage. Solid tire would be the solution. I’ll go for it.

[@Regantdarcy]

This is how tires use to be in my grandmother’s day. Solid rubber. Haven’t ridden one, but i imagine as you found out that they kinda suck on rough roads. Since i live in NYC the pothole capital of the world...so thats a no go for me. Lol. I find marathon tires on my hybrid work great. Never get a flat. Plus the tubeless tires seem to add even more puncture protection. So i don’t really see the point in solid wheels. The weight plus bumpy ride seem pointless to me.

[@OllyKilo]

If they could adjust the compound to offer the equivalent of various commonly used PSIs it would be nice.

[@bikelanez7376]

Awww give your wife a hug for me she’s a worrier 😢

Bright high visibility colors are the best and safest. Besides they look so much happier than bleak, dark, dull, drab black, brown or gray. Are the Tannis available for mtb bikes?

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Agreed. I think they have some MTB options, but not sure.

[@philipdavis7521]

I cycled Seoul to Busan, and then across Kyushu and a chunk of Shikoku on a new pair of Conti 4000's in Oct/Nov last year - not one puncture (and this was on a loaded bike). They also felt fantastic, so much more comfortable than the heavier touring style tyres I'd used previously.

[@rosbifle413]

3 years??? You must hardly ride!

[@kristiandawe85]

I also run gp4000s ii tires, I've been using them on all of my road bikes for years with zero flats, hands down my favorite tire for road, second favorite has to the Marton HS420 non plus version

[@officialdreymedina3468]

I'm riding one right now it decreases my speed and I'm slower then a mtb on decend without pedaling my speed is decreasing instead of increasing even tho I'm already in a very Aero position it's not on full power it's just start in the top of the hill and freewheel till the end on decend so for me that tire is amazing for training

[@ridewithgae1467]

Hi - need some help to select the right gravel tire. I currently have the Bontrager GR2 Team Issue Gravel Tire (700c 40mm) - but get flats all the time (even when i ride on the normal street - 1 week riding - flat - 4 flats on the back tire, 1 flat on the front tire in the last 4 weeks). I got the Tannus Armour Tire Inserts - but that doesnt fix the flat problem. Can you recomment me another gravel tire (high puncture resistance!)? which one has the best quality and prevents flats Panaracer, Vittoria, Continental or WTB or something else? My terrain: Road and also some Offroad (forrest with gravel and fine sand). I would say 60% road, 40% offroad.

Hey, new to biking here but using my bike for commute and want to do some cyclo-cross. Been really wondering about these tyres. I have a "road e-bike" (cannondale synapse neo) that helps up to 16mph/25kph, but I really like biking at around 30-33kph on the flat. Do you think it would make a big difference compare to the road tyres I have now ? Would you recommend them ? (Also, I ride 32mm, not sure they exist in that size). Thanks !

Go with a flat resistant pneumatic tires. And learn how to change a flat so that it’s not a chore. Grow up, basically.
