I really wish Schwalbe made tires for the RadMini. 

In other sizes, they have a thick tread area and have a reflective stripe all the way around the sidewalls. 

I had a flat in the rear RadMini tire, and a flat in my pup trailer, both fixed with tube patch kits and a dose of Slime....so far, no more flats. I slimed all four tires, bike and trailer. 

The little trailer is easy to repair the flats, dont even have to take the wheel off the trailer.
 
Those Mr. Tuffy tire liners work well, I have been running them on my ebike for years, only had one flat from a sidewall puncture where the liner didn't cover it. The slime stuff won't work on a tube well at all, the best you get with that is it will stop it with a few psi left so you can limp home on the bike. With the tire liners their big problem is the liner pinching the innertube, you need to make sure the overlapping ends of the tire liner are smooth and no hard glue pieces are present. Maybe put some F4 tape on the ends to make them smooth/rounder. Also put some baby powder on the tube and liner for less friction.
