I just replied to AJ above... so I'll just paste the same here...
"I've been on them for about a month now... and have been trying to test them, bashing into everything I see and not treating my wheels kindly... nothing but good things. In terms of protection, support and being able to run low PSI, I'd say they are equal to CushCore pro. Yet at a significantly and noticeably lower weight. Where I used to feel the weight of cushcore... I don't feel Tannus... it's removed a good chunk of weight from my bike. I run them with EXO+ casings.
Bonus is how easy they are to install... when I put them in, I just broke one bead and didn't even need to dump my sealant! Sealed with a regular pump. And use valves of your choice.
I think once more people catch on... Cush Core is going to have to come up with a major redesign because these things seem to so far offer no downsides yet so many upsides vs CC including a much lower price point. Pricing direct from Tannus via the website brings them closer to CushCore because of the shipping/duty. But supposedly they are working on that and hope to update for the spring. Shop around your local shops who may have them... I've heard Trek stores or dealers tend to have them."
