Run these Tanus liners on all our 26" rim bikes including a pair of 1500w powered bikes for just over 3 years now and zero problems (run Schwalbe tires on all the rims). There are a few things you must do though, you must make sure the the hole where the valve goes through the rim is not sharp (use a drill bit or sand paper to remove any lip in your rim), use a good quality thick wide spoke liner tape, cut down the Tanus liner wall to the specified height as required by the width of your tire (dont just shove the liner in the tire), and the big thing to stop tire spinning is to use a normal size tube for your tire and NOT down size the tube as Tanus suggests! Pump to about 25psi and as the foam compresses a bit (which it will) inflate to about 28/30psi to compensate, the normal size tube will stop the rotation by gripping the side of the liner tightly. When I have taken a tire off to change, the liner has been at about 60% its original thickness after 2 years, which I would consider fine. Also no flat spots that I can feel when riding if its stood up for several months in one position.

And thanks for your liner report, I might get myself a set to stop wasting innertubes (since 50% of them breaking are caused by some leaks and not the valve issue).

Two things: 20lb pressure is high for a 4" fat tire bike with most tires. I suspect that a smaller tube to compensate for the tannus armor space taken in the tube would NOT push the armor nearly flat. The combination of both = these results.

Nope. I did a similar setup, and put in smaller tubes, as suggested by Tannus. The only effect that had was I had to add air in my tires a lot for a few weeks, as the Armor compressed and the psi dropped. Then, a month in when the Armor was thin, my smaller tubes were stretched beyond spec, and were weaker, Then, the interior motion discussed in this video wore a friction hole in the thin tube.

No, not every foam compresses. Closed-cell foam in an airtight medium retains air in bubbles, and bounces back retaining thickness. If the air in bubbles can seep out, it'll compress. These compress in few weeks. I had them. Mine measured 4mm where it was 15mm when new. Not worth the $ and effort.

Could be the geometry of the tire that's causing the slip of the liner (along with having higher torque on rear hub from the e-bike). I've heard ppl using talcum or baby powder to keep the fiction down in tannus liners. The slipping issue may be less likely in a more narrow tire. Maybe 2.5 and down.

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.

The guy came back and explained that he did use the smaller tube they recommended, as per his own comments. Unfortunately, unless we go to his house, we can't test his air pressure, so accusing him of using it wrong is sort of like saying, "Most survive falling down the stairs, so it must be a user error. If he fell down the stairs in a more safe way, he would be fine." If they sent him a replacement for a nearly $100 product, that says they admit they occasionally have defective merchandise, to me. He's also not the only one I've seen talk about these going flat after some months. See my early comment about how having to deflate your tires all the time is ridiculous. If you need to nurse your tires to use this product, it's only a very special set of individuals who would be happy nursing their tires like that. All of that deflating and inflating takes time, and at that point it's more time than having a flat and fixing it on the road would waste.

I got flats, so I ripped them out angrily, and noticed how thick they are. I cut it and put a caliper on it, and measured exactly 4mm. That may be better than nothing, but the marketing says 15mm, and the advertising pictures illustrate that 15mm thickness and show a nail that can't reach your tube. But that is simply NOT what you get after a month of use. I spent money on 4 of these, and smaller tubes to go with them, and have since pulled them out, and am back to just running slime in my tires. FALSE ADVERTISING. WASTE OF MONEY!

@Thom Thumb Thom my friend, it is the manufacturer that instructs to partially deflate in between rides to minimize the constant pressure on the compressible foam, elevating and removing weight of bike falls in line with that though not as effective as removing air per manufacturer instruction so this is not a suggestion by stupid people but recommendation of the manufacturer. Because you have not gotten a flat while these have been installed does not prove that the foam material has not seriously compressed over time and is no longer rebounding to original thickness. I have not gotten a flat with equivalent mileage and only have Tuffy liners but that does not prove that Tuffy is as good as Tannus nor does it prove that Tannus is as good as Tuffy. Some folks are just lucky...until the luck runs out. The permanent compression and reduction of the thickness of the foam material from Tannus is a real thing and is actually proven to be an issue by those who have removed it after months of use and seen it with their own eyes.

Because I was tubeless I didn't have to remove a tube or tire, all I did was put a little Gorilla Glue over the hole, then stuck the tip of a sticky tubeless plug over the hole, then I put more Gorilla glue over it and 6 months later, the tire holds air like a champ. I have bombed over roots, dirt and gravel without problems. This is much cheaper and much easier than Tannus liners.

Interesting findings, thank you. I got an ebike with 20"×3" tires, & after I got a flat on a very crunchy & spikey offroad trail, I started looking at options. I went with the puncture resistant liner, and layered the old tube in the new one, and also added latex liquid sealant, & I feel that is pretty good. I saw these & seems awesome but way too expensive, especially now that I see these results. I may still do the affordable verison and get pipe insulation from a hardware store, I wonder if it will flatten like the Tannus. At any rate, I added a small air pump to the tool bag, & would probably add spare tubes & sealant to the bag if I were to take it to work, but that's a stretch from here so probably not unless last resort. I use it mostly for fun in the parks, fishing etc.

Have you tried the huntsman vs the speedsters? It's the same company, and I'm wondeing which to get. The huntsman look more rugged and are 1 lbs heaviers then the speedsters. I'm wondering how the extra weight woudl affect the acceleration and top speeds? Also wondeing how the offroading and roie noie would be compared between the two tires.

I heard they say to let the air out of the tire when not in use as well as less air pressure. It won't flatten out as fast I suppose.

did you contact Tannus? same thing happened to me after 50 miles ran over a 4 inch nail of course nothing will stop that but the foam insert was so flattened my tire was rolling off the rim after 10 feet of blowout (HyperScrambler 20x4 inch wheel) i bought these for run flat capability and armor...2 rides and insert is cardboard thin, don't even think of riding flat, it's all tire and rim...very disappointed, like $170 disappointed calling Tannus tomorrow for refund

Their 20" line is a more recent addition to the tannus products. This doesn't happen on a 26"+ wheel. The 4" width could also be the issue🤔 It's also possible that your valve stem got damaged and finished off by other means. Maybe one too many wheelies🙃. Give it another shot to see if it happens again at least

Yes, but you'd have to be looney to think I'm going to do that every day, 7 days a week, 12 months a year. Tannus said to try it before issuing a replacement of the their "new and improved compound". I did. Even after 2 months they never regained shape. No thanks Tannus!

Valve stem failure: It is NOT the Tannus Armor. It is your rim. Fat tire rims have a hole drilled for the valve stem that is awful! It typically has burs/sharp edges left from the drilling process and only works for METAL valve stems (NOT RUBBER). If you are using inner tubes with rubber valve stems, you have to drill them oversize and install plastic or rubber gourmets so the valves stems don't get cut/deflated/and sheared off. DO NOT BLAME Tannus!

Hmmm ... Those are Speedster Tires and they have over Ride technology for puncture resistance. Personally I don't think you want or need to use Tannus Armor with such tires. Next thing to think about is the Tube itself ... after all they do go bad ... I doubt very much that it happen the way you think it happened ... sorry TD! It appears you didn't follow directions ... I did not want to deflate and inflate tires or having to guess at when to, so I decided to go with Flatout myself for now. But since I have a bad back I don't think I need an off road tire so I'm looking for something similar to the Speedster tires ... less noise and smoother ride.
