If you bought the bike new, it's likely the tires are still under warranty. Go back to LBS and get a replacement. Even if it's from road debris, you can give it a shot.
If you are buying a new, I'd recommend Panaracer RiBMo. This is my current fav over Conti's Top Contact II. Schwalbe Marathon is excellent. Any of these tires is fine.
I just took out the Top Contact II (37c) and put on RiBMo tires (32c). Nothing wrong with the tires but during summer time, I wanted to ride with narrower tires. Wider tires are heavier.
Thanks, really appreciate this.
On yours and u/5200mAh's recommendations I went with a Schwalbe Marathon HS 420 in the end: http://www.amazon.com/Schwalbe-Marathon-Wire-Bead-700X35/dp/B004T0GCYU since it was $40 shipped from Amazon and should be here Wednesday. And these also came in 700x35.
This will be my first time changing a tyre, so I guess I have some Youtubing ahead of me. I'll probably just skip riding tomorrow and do some weightlifting instead. Or maybe just stick to riding around here for a few blocks.
And yeah, the roads are pretty bad where I live. It's been my #1 gripe since I started cycling. I live in a small rural area in North Texas, and a lot of the roads are just garbage. As you said, I have been riding on the shoulder a lot, so maybe this is where I picked up the nail if it had been flicked off the road. Perhaps I should just stick to riding on the road even if there's a perfectly good shoulder there?
