Or do you find the puncture protection has been good enough?

FWIW, I tried Mr Tuffys in non-Tourguard Paselas (559X32) and very
quickly removed them: the added drag was very noticed, at least I
noticed it. (I can feel the added drag of Pasela Tourguards, too, for
what that is worth).

Interesting anecdote; when I first rode my Ken Rogers trike, I was
greatly disappointed, feeling that the machine rode like a real dog.
What did I just get myself into? I thought. Then I had the bright
idea of opening the tires up: sho' 'nuff, Mr Tuffys. I removed the MTs
and installed relatively light weight presta tubes in place of the
rather heavy Schraeders, and wala, a very delightful improvement in
the feel of the machine. (Said machine, alas, has been sold to raise
needed funds; but after putting several hundred miles on it I decided
that, if I must sell one machine, it would be the trike, because as
much fun as it was, it's not as nice as a bike.)

Mr. Tuffys help but are not proof against thorn punctures.
