... As I said before yes the conti sidewalls will suffer in
the summer sun, but a little black gasket sealer will keep
that at bay until you wear it out.


I am not planning on having to correct mistakes a manufacturer
made on products that are expensive to begin with. Then I
simply walk away from the product, as I did here.

Are you kidding?!? You spend more time correcting
manufacturer's mistakes than anybody. Including mistakes that
multiple manufacturers collude upon. Hell together they either
can't or won't produce a mr tuffy that you don't say has to be
wrapped like a bageldog to work


Put one in a MTB rear tire, ride lots of rocky trails and look at
the tube after a few thousand miles. You will be unpleasantly
surprised. _Then_ voice an opinion.

I already did so 25 years ago and will not be surprised and have
already voiced my opinion. I told you here before you tried them
that mr tuffys out of the box will chafe a hole in your tube.

I didn't say you are wrong to correct manufacturer's mistakes, I said
you are wrong when you said you won't. And won't plan to. Now take
a new gatorskin, take a tube of Permatex #2 or other black automotive
gasket sealer, and a latex glove, and run a thin layer over the
sidewalls, and tell us how that worked out six months later.


So what's next? Build your won tire? There comes a limit and there is no
need to buy expensive tires with poorly design side walls. Because you
can buy tires with better side walls. Which I am now doing. With tire
liners there is no such option, with tires there is.
