Has anyone used these Tire Guards from Gempler's. I have had to fix 5 flat tires while brush cutting this spring; All of them caused by thorns puncturing the innertube. I even fill the tubes with tire sealer and still get flats since the thorns penetrate about 1/2″ inside the tire and eventually rip a hole in the inner tube that the sealer can't plug. They are about $80 each for my 7.5×16 fronts, just want to make sure they work before I spend. If they work, it would definately be money well spent as far as I'm concerned. Thanks,

Here is a link Ray. You can see them a little better.
Actually, shouldn't they be called tube guards? They don't really guard the tire at all. I'm just sayin'…

You have a good point Bob. I'm sure I'll be picking up just as many thorns in my tires after I put them in. Doesn't look like too many folks have used these so, I'm going to order a couple and give them a try. When I fix the flats the thorns are never over 1/2″ inside the tire so I think the added thickness of the Tube Guard will prevent 95% of my flats. I'll let everyone know how they work. Thanks.
