I really only mentioned puncture through lack of thinking of anything else that may separate a very cheap tyre compared to a more expensive one.I also have an 80s halfords fold up bike that I am getting back on the road 20 x 1 3/8

Thanks for the info. What I am realising is how much bike stuff costs these days not brought any bits for about 15 years.
Another question, the old gold up has a 3 speed sturmey archer hub gear and it has a cap so you can add oil, would car gear oil be ok as I already have that for living the chain. Or would 3 in 1 oil be better.
Mate I use oil engine oil on my chain have done for years
