The stock crappy Kenda's are 26 x 2.30. Thanks for the intel!

Hi all, I've had my RadCity 3 for 6 weeks and had my first tire blowout. I was on the road and heard a big bang. Took the bike home, bought a tube, installed it and (you guessed it) another BANG! I looked at the tire before replacing the tube and didn't see anything portruding at the site of the tube puncture, but the second time I realized that the tire had actually separated at the bead.

I've been reading similar stories online as I wait for my warranty replacement tire from Rad. I'm thinking that I should just purchase better tires to avoid future similar problems and reduce the likelihood of a puncture.

Has anyone upgraded their stock 26" Kendas to a Schwalbe or similar? It looks like 2 x 2.30 is a weird size, so I'll have to go a bit bigger or smaller width (e.g. 2 x 2.15 or 2 x 2.40). If you've upgraded, what did you choose and what has your experience been so far with rolling resistance, comfort, and puncture resistance?

I've been looking at Schwalbe Big Bens, Big Apples, Marathons, and the new "Pick-Up" (seems designed for cargo bike and is therefore a bit more heavy duty).

If you change the size subtly, have you noticed any issues with fit on the bike or issues with your speedometer?

Thanks!
