The tire still "feels" firm, but it isn't sufficient to hold me (220 lbs) up. If you are checking the inflation and still getting the flats, I'm stumped.

If it's pinch flats - my bet is on underinflated tires. Check 'em every day. I routinely switch bikes so it's habit for me. I bought a gauge but I find that I almost always have to pump them up so I just use the gauge on the pump.
