What tire can I use?

Any Ideas?

I keep on popping my rear tire.
I have the folding stingray and I put lots more weight on the rear than the Giordano factory ever thought.

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=66800


The rear wheel had been replaced (I kept on breaking spokes)
The back tire is a 32 spoke 20 inch X 1.5 inch,
but now I pop or puncture my inner-tube all the time.
Can I put a bigger tire on a 1.50 inch wheel?
There is room around the frame and fender area.
Is there a higher pressure inner tube?
A puncture resistant tire ?

I want it to be fatter and tougher.

I wish I had a racing slick (no treads) on the back.

I like Top Low Rider Parts or shopping on E-Bay

Any Ideas?

First make sure there is nothing stuck in the tire itself that is puncturing the new tube, best way to do this is slide a cotton ball across the inside surface of the tire slowly and see if it snags. Second you mentioned the wheel was re-laced so make sure all the spoke heads are tight and spokes are not sticking up through the spoke head and puncturing the tube, Make sure you are running proper air pressure, a low tire will not support the weight over bumps and may be causing it to pinch between the road and rim, Make sure the tire doesn't have any spots where the tube is coming through, sometimes even new tires will have a small cut where someone slipps with a box cutter and it lets the tube out just a little bit, If all that doesn't work I don't know.

I got a "SLIME" inner tube at Ace/Tru-Value and a Dura tire from Top Low Rider.
The tire is a 20" X 1.75" and fits well. I can run it up to 80 psi (it says)
I like the fatter rear.
After a few miles on city streets we'll se how I go.
