I did bring back my old classic coaster Schwinn from my mom's house before we sold it. It's just sitting out in the storage room with flat tires from the 1960s.
Get ahold of something with a tire around 2" wide (48mm) and you will be amazed at the difference. Not only does the bigger sidewall help, they run at lower pressure, which helps even more.
I even go a step further and run mine tubeless. That's even better yet because most of what would give you a flat gets sealed.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
