I am planning on a long distance biking trip. I want to avoid taking tools, and will have no money to pay for repairs. My bike will be a single speed with back-pedal brakes to avoid gear and brake problems.
Are there tires available that practically never break? Any other tips?

Thanks!
 
I would suggest that you DONT GO! -

Good luck, I suggest that you drive a car instead. You better plan on getting a flat. EVERYONE does! And when its over let us know how many you had and weather or not you went prepared! I use Mr. Tuffy tire liners but even they arent full proof.
 
You can get thorn-resistant tubes and high quality tires, but flats and occasional mechanical problems are inevitable, even with a single speed.

Basic bike tools are inexpensive and lightweight, as are CO2 cartridges and spare tubes. I don't even go on a 40 mile training ride without that much, because problems always occur at your farthest point from home.

If your budget can't handle even the basics, you ought to rethink the trip.
