yeah over the years i've had a few do that too. i've tried the foam insert. it's nice but a pain in the arse to install and it's more for motocross where they are not used everyday for us poor common folk. they will only hold up so long and for the price of them i can get 8 tire tubes and change them myself. the last set i bought for the yzf were pirelli scorpions that i got a good deal on.great tires but i would'nt pay full price for them i'm like you i want something that grips in the woods and there are plenty of good cheap tires out there

Yeah i've never had to deal with those foam insert tubes but yeah i've heard they are a pain to put in and i guess they say on the box like install before this date so yeah i wouldn't trust them and they've got to be so much heavier than havin just a regular tube in there. So they break down? that's kinda weird. Idk i just run the ultra heavy duty bridgestone tubes and i've had luck with them.

When i first got my bike a was going through those cheap tubes left and right but i put a bridgestone heavy duty in my back and just barely got one in my front but i havent had any problems with either. I've had the back one for like two years now so . . . and i ride in pretty sharp rocky stuff sometimes . . . I wont buy anything else. You'll pay for a heavy duty tube twice waisting your time with the cheap tubes
