Only any good for hard ground (I've got one). Absolutely awful on soft ground, they're too narrow and sink in. Perfect if you're pushing on a nice track though.

I find them easier on soft ground than a wider tyre as it cuts through the mud easier

I have the carp porter one. It's ok but a ****ing rip off mate. Go down the garden centre and get the same thing for a tenner

Cuts into the mud and sticks. If the mud is an inch deep, fine. But deep mud is a nightmare. A wider tyre digs in less and is easier to push.

Cool story, you can beat physics. Well done. Maybe I should go to the gym though, bulk up, bag of gear to the lake and a full sleeve tattoo so I can be a pukka carper.

Ticker,I had one of these,I used it for a long time until I found pools of water in the storage room,simply put I found when wet the puncture proof tyre soaked up water,then as it dries,leaves a big puddle on the floor,I went back to a on purpose slightly under inflated pneumatic tyre,which didn't get flats,mind you I didn't get flats in the first place...so the jab proof tyre was a waste of spondoola....

Like alarms,if it ain't broke don't fix it...!!

I actually found the opposite ,even In deep soft mud. Bigger tyre still sinks, and creates greater resistance therefore making it harder to push

I use stuff called oko on all my off road tyres. £10 worth will do half a dozen barrow tyres.
Are you sure?
