I know about new tires. My new vintage bike has aero rims - much harder to fit and I was using cheaper stiffer tires. I broke 3 tire levers and lost about 4 new tubes. The first one blew out like a 22 rifle shot 2 feet from my ears. The second blew out about 15 seconds after a 30 mph descent.
So far I've only had one side blowout and one flat while commuting. I've also had 3 flats that didn't appear until after sitting overnight.
