Try putting on some Schwalbe Marathon puncture resistant tires for your road bike!
Man, I better not get a flat out on the road. I used many tools from the arsenal to put the damn things on! Some cheap small quick grip style clamps to keep the tire on the opposite side seated in the centre of the rim seemed to work well.
I used one of the old tubes in the front. After struggling for a while with the front wheel and finally winning, I aired up the tire and put it on the bike. While installing the rear tire, the first one exploded with the bike on the bike stand.
I went and bought new tubes.
