Don't have the Foss tubes on a bike right now. Was going to use them year round on a winter bike, but they were awfully tough to get on a rim in cool (freezing or below) weather. They also didn't want to fit under a slightly smaller studded tire.
Which comes to my other complaint - I personally didn't like the ride feel. Yes, almost certainly a princess and the pea type thing. But in my mind, under a set of 26x2.0 Marathon Duremes, they felt stiff. Road bumps seemed more jarring. Again, that is all personal. And just my opinion. Oh, and as far as I can tell, we don't have goatheads here. Small little burrs and stickers, but nothing like the size of a goathead.
