I agree with Cliff. I’ve had problems with leaks and flats on inflatable tires. Yes,  you can fix them with tire levers and a bicycle repair kit, but are you going to carry those items plus an air pump on a trip? You can buy new tubes easily enough, but the tires are flimsy and a few oysters will destroy them. That said, shame upon me, for I’m still using inflatable tires, so I am not practicing what I preach!
