Looking for bomb proof tires for this steel bike. I get a lot of flats and I’m riding urban, downtown streets with hella construction. Any suggestions? What tires do you run for your commute?
Yes my bike is my phone wallpaper.

If you want puncture protection above all else, try Schwalbe Marathon Plus. They’re heavy and shit in the wet, but you won’t have to stop for a puncture.
Obv there’s nicer tyres with good attributes, but if all you care about is not getting flats, then they’re perfect. I run them and I haven’t had a flat on that bike in four years. Just be careful when it rains.
Those looks like 590 26″ tires, also known as wheelchair tires. Your choices are pretty much limited to Schwalbe and Panaracer.
Continental makes one.
