I mostly ride on city bike paths and streets, but every once in a while I do take it on dirt paths in local parks. I’m also open to eventually riding on real dirt trails. Lately however, it feels like almost every time I leave the concrete and asphalt I end up with flat. The last time I went riding I ended up with 50+ of these little stickers that left both tires totally flat in minutes. I’ve also had these tires for at least 5 years, probably longer.

I looked at Amazon and found some cheaper replacements from a brand called Blackburn. I also heard of and checked out Maxxis but I’m not sure which of their styles is best suited for me. And I don’t know how big a deal tube quality is.
