All of my flats lately (4 this year) have been because of slices through the
tire. So even with Procore, I'm still riding out on what is essentially a flat
tire, and then, I would have to patch the inside of the tire like I would
normally. Using thinner tires is not really an option because of this.
The only real benefit to this system is to prevent pinch flats through the
tire, which if you are running proper amount of pressure is a non issue
anyway. Using too low pressure and your tires get squirmy, so I'd still want
to run my normal pressures. Plus, the obvious rotational weight your wheels
will gain, and that would be quite noticeable.
I'm trying to see the benefit of this system. Just like the moto version, I
think its a gimmick.
