I could try those. Slime Smart Tubes certainly don't!
A pair of Armadillo Elites lasted me something like 10000-15000 miles without a single puncture. Of course it helps that I dont ride in the gutter, where most of the road debris lives.

I got some of those after getting 2 punctures in the space of a month. No punctures since, but then again, I didn't get any in the 14 months before either, so I can't conclude either way!
My OH reckons I should go tubeless on my new bike.

I've been using my tubes about 2 weeks and I've had two punctures.

Fair enough, you don't have to repair them, just reinflate them. But the pump I take with me to work struggles to get the pressure over 30psi.

I've just bought a puncture-resistant tyre for the back. I'll try that with the Smart Tube.

Meanwhile, the bike is getting heavier and heavier...
