tire recommendation
Itīs time to get new tires for my Giant Roam 1. I mostly ride daily on pavement and some multi purpose trails on weekends. Road conditions where I live are very uneven. I am currently running the ones that came with my bike, CST 1272 700x40 and would like something maybe more puncture resistant (have had 4 in a year), and maybe thinner (35īs).
Also, it would have to be folding type, since I will be buying them while visiting the US and need to pack them in a suitcase.
Any advice or recommendation is appreciated.

Ah, lovely Buenos Aires. One of my favorite cities.
There are two major kinds of flats: Puncture (nails, glass, jagged metal thru tread) and Pinch (bottoming out on rim, also called snakebite)
There are tires that have reinforced treads or sidewalls, or both
