Tannus tyre

[starhawk]

Has anyone here tried out the Tannus punctureproof tyres? Seems interesting, I have ridden on the Greentyre punctureproof tyres and they are a bit stiff and bumpy, but Tannus is of another compound which is supposed to be softer, and then there is those pins to keep the tyre on the rim. I once experienced when the front Greentyre started to worm it's way of the rim.

Do a search in the box top right. There are a few Tannus Tyres threads including one which had an ongoing review by CC member @Andrew_Culture

In which way are they horrible? Can you be more specific? Or is it just the ordinary rant?

No grip.

I'm no triker, but it seems to me the weaknesses of the Tannus tyre - less grip, slightly odd cornering behaviour - would matter less on three wheels than two.

The many other advantages could outweigh those for a trike user.
