ive had 7 flat tires in the last two months, ive used green slime, green tire tape etc and keep getting flats.i only ride on streets but keep getting flats is there a product that can guarantee no more flats?
You can replace the tubes with tubes made by Slime brand. They have a silicone sealant in them, and if you get a puncture, take the object out, and the slime seals the hole. They are like the run flat tires on some cars.
There is no such thing as a puncture-proof tire. Even Armadilloes can get punctured by things that can work its way through the kevlar belting, such as a stiff steel wire (had that happen to me a couple times), but I agree with Sno f Armadilloes are a good investment. To stack the odds in your favor, I would check the following: - Make sure you inflate your tires to the right pressure! Mushy tires means more pinch flats (when the tube gets squished against the tire rim and ruptures). - Make sure there are no sharp edges on your wheel rim. Oftentimes the opening in the rim for your tube's valve stem might have a sharp edge and might slice open your inner tube. - Make sure there is nothing on the inside of your tires. When changing out a flat, feel the inside and make sure there is nothing poking through, or you will get a puncture in the same place again.
The most common suspect in flat tires is the tire, not the tube. If your tires are old, worn and dries out, they are much less puncture resistant. A good quality, new tire will probably reduce the number of flats you are having. All that other junk you have been using are a waste of time and money.
