Pardon me if I'm getting my terms wrong; I was just really excited about inexpensive prices on nice tires.
tubulars are the kind you glue to your rim. If you haven't had to mess with glue, you don't need those.
Most likely as a mail order place they'll only sell folding clinchers because a non folding clincher would be expensive to ship via the mail. For all practical purposes, a folding and non-folding clincher is the same tire except that one of them you can fold up when it's not on the rim.
