Replacing bike tires?

Asked by ccrash3 (375points) October 14th, 2008

I have a 26” mountain bike that I’m using on the local bike trail. I think I need to replace the knobby tires with something more suitable for paved roads. Is this possible to do and how do I do it? The bike tire websites have confused me. Any input would be great!

Get a wire bead tire (not kevlar bead)... lots cheaper.

Get a couple of tire levers, and then follow these instructions on how to actually change the tire.
