Hi all, the first thing that I like to tell new owners is, "get rid of those Knobby MTB tires!" One of my customers mounted a set of Knobby Kevlar tires on his Whizzer, as he was tired of getting flats. Well, after he turned a corner a couple weeks later and the knobs were all between him and the asphault, pretty soon it was Asphalt "1" boy on bike "0"!
He of course picked up himself, and the Green Whizzer, and upon returning home, circular filed the Kevlar MTB knobbies.
As far as reasonable tires? I have used, and enjoyed Cheng Shin "Goodyear" type Cruiser tires, also the "City Travelor" they make. Duro's "Street Slick" is nice, and low priced, and modern tread except Knobby might work well for you.
Specialized "Armadillos" are a bit pricey but very nice also, they are Kevlar based, and very much more "round" than a cheap tire.
I do NOT like the Carlisle type "oval knobbed" tires very much, especially on the front.
Who else?
