Do whizzers need some sort of special kind of tire? I got a flat yesterday and I replaced the tire as well and today I got another flat and I believe the tire blew out, is there something I'm missing?
Whizzer tire?

Get some Kevlar tires, extra thick slime tubes, and some slime tube liners. This setup has saved me, and many others here alot of headache
@Wrench will be the acknowledged expert on Whizzer tires as he has many 10s of thousands of miles on his Whizzer and is very picky on what he rides his Whizzer on, especially since his Whizzer easily speeds along at 50+ MPH.
He will also be able to tell you the proper PSIs to bring it to to avoid blowouts due to heat and friction expansion of the tires.
Lets talk tire pressure...
I've been thinking about tire pressure lately. I personally like to run higher pressure, I find higher tire pressure helps keep goatheads and what not out of my tires. I know some like to run high pressure to get less rolling resistance from their tires, bit running wider cruiser tires this...

How many miles to those last? I had the Walmart blackburn tire on my last bike, but it got destroyed when my rear tire locked up before it even had 50 miles, so I wasn't able to see how the tread lasted

The Walmart tire looked the same as that tire
I examined those just last week in my Walmart...I found them to be too soft and flimsy in comparison to the Bell Kevlars I use.
