I would recommend "tire savers", also known as "nail pullers",
instead of those tire inserts.  I've had a pair on my bike for the
last 6000 miles and have only had 1 flat (from a big piece of
glass).  Tire savers only cost $1.50 and give you none of the
performance penalties that tire inserts do.  They work fine with
all clincher and sew-up tires.
