Trek fx2 or similar

Inner tubes and a pump. Repair the tubes at home if they're fixable, esp at this time of year. You could carry scabs in case you get more than one fairy visit when out

This is precisely what I do. Two inner tubes and a packet of either scabs or Park Tool instant patches. These are permanently in my saddle bag, along with a pump attached to the frame. I've not failed to get home under my own steam in quite a long time.

Edited to say that on longer rides (i.e. 100mi or more) I carry a full repair kit with me as well as patches, just in case.

Cheers guys, ordered the tyres and a spare inner tube.
Ive already bought one of those co2 air thingys because its small and fits nicely in my saddle bag ill probably stick with that over a pump

You need inner tubes to go with the tyres
Make sure you know how to use the CO2. I’d carry a pump too if you’re going to potentially get stranded
