This week I pulled the Tannus Armour out of my Wallke H6 to see how it held up over 700 miles through freezing winter under screw in studs. I share my experience and thoughts on this product. Spoiler...I'm a Fan. I also had a little fun. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
A Winner has been chosen! Stay tuned for more fun stuff!
Special Thanks to Vinny at Tannus Armour!

Wow...never really appreciated what exactly a "goat head" thorn really is or does to a tire...that's crazy! Must be a "west coast thing"....back east here, I can't ever recall encountering such a beast as those! I can understand why the Tannus is a "must have" out there. I got a kick out of the out-takes at the end. Made me laugh. After talking to a bunch of ATV riders in my area, I went with "Flat Out" tire goop to add to the tubes. Nothing against the Tannus product, just figured I'd give that stuff a try. I'm also happy to say I've got another X3-Pro joining the family...my son rode mine, was hooked, and has one ordered and on the way!

@The E-Lightened Artist On the east coast, it is battery killing hills and cold Temps this time of year (was 15 degrees yesterday morning...that's Fahrenheit, not Celsius!), but warmer weather is on the horizon! Bike improvements...just thinking how many of us start replacing parts and components to improve the ride comfort, etc. Not sure how difficult it would be to create a "custom shop", but maybe they could make "performance" packages or something that give you a springer seat, mirrors, blue tooth connection to the display (that would be way cool), and so on. Mechanically, I would love to see an addional gear or two. Just got back from a ride, and on some of the long downhills, according to the speedometer (wheel Dia set to 28"), I hit 40mph. I had no pedal power left to give. While I don't necessarily need that speed all the time, with some of the roads I ride, if another gear made maintaining 30-35mph less of an effort, it would actually be safer. No bike lanes here in stick world. Traffic is always a risk, and heaven forbid if the gas companies are moving a rig to a new well pad!

Cool. I use the Armour plus flat out or self sealing tubes. I got a flat through the armour thanks to a 3 inch nail once. Didn't have the flat out in though. That was last year and haven't had a problem since. I think you'll notice a difference in the ride quality any way. Are you riding 20"?

Definitely. The big thing around here is thorns which the tannus handles nicely. Plus the bike rides better. But nails are a different story. I’ve had good luck with the heavy duty tubes that come with sealant already installed. Running those on two bikes under Tannus and have had no issues. Got the tubes off Amazon. Cheers and happy riding!

I just had tannus amour inserts installed on the wheels of my electric speedbike and after one ride I can't help but feel that there is a loss of performance and speed. There is a slight wobble in the rear wheel and I now use up more battery than I did without the inserts. I think I'm probably going to have them removed.

On 4” tires you can get away with using the stock tubes. It’s not ideal. The install goes much smoother with 3 inch tubes that haven’t been inflated before. But the first time I installed Tannus I used my stock 4” tubes and it was fine.

Once you get all the fasteners loose it'll still feel stuck. The washers on the axle are keyed and get lodged in the paint. I used a soft mallet and tapped the axle backwards a little at a time and it works free. Let me know if you get stuck on something in particular and I'll try to help.

Yeah. I wish it stayed as thick as when new. But the trade off is that it becomes more dense as it compresses. For me, the fact that it keeps goatheads at bay even after miles of use is fantastic. That’s the big issue in my area. But for others, they’re looking for something more bullet proof. Need to back up the Armour with liquid puncture sealer. I’m sure we’ll see improvements in the future. Cheers!
