Hello
I want to put new tyres on my old trek 7.1 bike.
I've never changed the tyres on it and while I don't do much commuting on it, it's more of a leisure bike, I'd like maybe faster lighter tyres.
There are Bontrager 700x35c on it at the moment.
Please could somebody recommend new tyres and tubes , the tubes go flat often so guessing they need replacing after all these years.

I was looking at CONTINENTAL GRAND PRIX URBAN FOLDING TYRE! I don't have a clue thanks

Look up Pirelli Angels. Hearing good things about them. Meant to be good puncture resistance comparable schalwbe marathons, and are lighter. They have 3 different thread depending on activity. Otherwise, go with a 30/32mm road tyre.
