It's a great idea that's why! My bro's ride still has air tires, and they are fat 2.10's, so I'm sure an old tire in each one will make it better. He's never had a flat yet, but the keyword is yet.
Just Thinkin' Outloud...
I was just wondering if anyone thought to use rubber cement when installing the tire-in-tire. Just to help keep things in place? Add another layer of something? Would it even be useful?

Yep, and it makes a whole lotta sense recycling that old tire you were just gonna throw away. I even did the "tire-in-a-tire" with my 16" push trailer wheel. Nuttsy, no need for rubber cement.

Well, so much for the tire within a tire concept. Been like 3 or 4 days now and guess what? Went to wheel bike out for a ride today, and there it was, flatter than a pancake. Sheesh. There MUST be an answer other then those dag-gummed solid tubes.

What was the cause of the flat, Zev? With double tires, it might be easier to get a pinched tube when installing...

possibly.
may i ask that those who use double tyres, wouldn't there be issues with the 2nd tyre slipping over the 1st ?

The hole was in the side of the tube. Not really a hole, but more like an abrasion. It was a $2.59 tube so I believe it may have been defective. That and the fact that it was a balloon tire with a max psi of 35. I'm like 280 pounds and the tire looked really low, so it was riding on the sidewall most of the time which really makes it suceptible(sp) to punctures. I have since ordered a couple of acrobats that will inflate to 70 psi which should remedy the situation.
Now I have physical problems. Got clobbered by an suv while riding my wifes scooter. Doing 30 mph and an idiot turned left directly in front of me. BAM!!!!!
So now, I have a couple of cracked ribs and bruises and soreness through the whole of my body. It will be awhile before I get to try out the new tires, but I'm hopeful.
