What are the best kind of tires I should buy for my bike?


I only bike within my city. I dont bike on dirt trails

1. confirm your correct tire size. Check the label on the side of the tire, it's probably something like "700 x 38c" or "26 x 2.125" The first number is the diameter, the second the width indicator.

2. Go to a large bike shop and ask to see their "city tires" or "commuter" or "slicks" in that size.

For an urban setting with lots of potholes and bad pavement, I'd go with some tread but you don't need knobbies. I do recommend getting the heavy duty flat prevention models.

For a typical suburban situation you can go with lighter, skinnier tires that will feel faster and hold higher pressure to roll better. The bike shop dude should be happy to explain the options. If they don't have a good selection, either try another shop or ask to see some catalogs so they can order for you.

Good luck

Go to Kmart and spend $7 a tire. All tires are made in China.
