For me -- statistical sample of 1:

30 mm Parigi Roubaix, 60-65 psi, tubes. I did not try these tubeless.

Before: a goathead flat every 2 to 5 miles; used, literally, 20 patches in
one week.

After: no flat in 700 miles; Stan's still entirely liquid after 12 mos.


55 mm (as measured, 50 mm labeled) Furious Freds (700C), 25-30 psi. These
tires weigh about 30 grams more each than the Parigi Roubaix, so they are
extremely light.

I never rode these without Stan's. Here is my experience with them with
Stan's.

Tubed: once the goatheads matured in late fall and early winter, 1 flat
every 2 miles. Many of these would seal, reluctantly, if you stopped and
spun the wheel for 3 minutes, but many would not.

Tubeless: no flats. When I pry thorns from the casing the air will escape,
but a few revolutions of the wheel seals the holes. One experienced in
goatheads told me simply to leave the thorns in the casing and let the
heads break off, leaving the points to plug the holes.
