My fairly recent experience was to use electricians tape. I got that advice
from the list. I got new bands and they didn't help. Still had a flat after
about a month of driving. The bands fit the center groove but not over the
spoke nipples on the shoulder. That is where I was getting the wear on the
tube. Electricians tape fixed it.

As to how long it will last???????????????????
