No, I don't ride my bike everyday.

I just moved and I know my tires are flat at this point. When I do ride, it's on the weekends, weather permitting.

If I ride on Saturday, I will have to air up the tires again on Sunday when I go out.
Tires claim to hold 60 psi. I pump them to 55-60. I was always told over-inflating will wear your tires out faster.

I bought the bike new with new tires and tubes.
The tubes that came on the bike never held air. I would get about a block away and they would be flat. So I bought new tubes. They last for a ride, but the next day I have to air them up again. Got tired of that so I bought another brand of tubes....same thing happened. Took the bike to the bike shop to have it looked at. They claim they found nothing wrong. I put another brand of new tubes on the bike.....same thing happening.

As I said, I ride on flat surfaces. So the minor differences in solid tubes or tires should not affect me.

I don't want to keep wasting money buying tubes every 2 or 3 months. I might try that gel stuff for the tubes or if there are some of those super thick tubes in my price range....other than that, I will just save up for some solids.


Thanks anyway guys.
