I have put close to 2000 miles on these tires and only had to replace the rear this season. Sure they are heavy and don't have the best rolling resistance but I have been flat free for an entire season. Worth every penny in my eyes buubthe folding they are hair lighter.

The 700x25 folding are the best IMO. $35 on amazon.

I recommend gator skins if you’re getting a lot of flats If you’re not getting flats, they’re not really going to help you. May want to consider something with a better ride, better grip, more efficient.
I only ride gatorskins though.
700c (aka ERTO 622) is the most common road bike tire size by quite a bit. Just look for tires marked 700x25, 700c x 25, 700x25c, 700x25 mm- basically you want to see the numbers 700 and 25. The measurements are in mm (unless you see something like 29x1.25, that would be a mountain bike tire measured in inches), and the c just indicates a 622mm bead seat diameter (the same for all 700 size tires). It's unlikely that you will see it, but 622 is the same size. However, 650 or 650b tires won't fit, so keep your numbers straight.
Every bike shop will have appropriate tires, even Wal-Mart has them (but don't get Wal-Mart tires). You can spend anywhere between $20 and $200 for a tire. I'm guessing you want a tire that will last a long time but don't want to pay a ton. Conti Gatorskins are pretty hard to beat for those criteria: https://www.amazon.com/Continental-Gatorskin-DuraSkin-Folding-Bicycle/dp/B001OC6CK0/
The Conti 4 Seasons are another good option, but usually cost a few bucks more.
