Just get hold of some top quality tyres with a good puncture belt like -

Vittoria Randonneur
Schwalbe Marathon
Continental Contact series
(all come in 700C and 26")

Wallingtons Bicycle Parts www.wallbike.com have the Schwalbe Marathon XRs in
700CX40 (folding) for $US57.

Expensive but as I said they are the tyre of choice for remote area

I've found them very reliable.
