What should I do to get the best bang for my buck in home insulation/weatherproofing for the upcomming winter100+ year old farmhouse, very windy location, Northeast US.
If you use tubes you will spin the tubes inside the rim leading not to a small leak but an instant flatNEVER use tubes in tubeless tires There is a reason they are tubelessFix the problem, don't put a bad Band-Aid on it.
You really don't need any more insulationAny more and you would store too much heat in the attic Typically, weatherproofing the house is a much better way to goYou are in a very exposed climate and probably have a very leaky house unless you have already tried to seal itYou can do it yourself if you are handy around the houseOtherwise, you might be able to find a contractor that specializes in weather sealing through some of the links below Typically air infiltration is a large problem for an old home in an exposed areaGood Luck
Inner tubes tend to build up heat inside the tires and can cause modern tubeless tires to failIf your tire shop is having trouble getting your tires to seal, go find another tire shopThe guy who is doing the work for you doesn't know what he's doing.
