Hi Sean. You haven't said what size rims the bike was designed for. Are they 700c, 27" or perhaps 650, which were rare, but were around. If it's 700c than you have allot of good choices right now, just go into a local shop and ask for a set of cycle cross tires. If it's 27" than your choices are allot less. Let us know what you find.
