Choosing the proper tire for the sort of riding your doing really improves the riding experience. There's literally hundreds of different bike tires you can choose from and if you're just starting out this choice can be daunting. I strongly recommend you go to your local bike store (LBS) and ask them what sort of tire they recommend for your size wheel/rim and type of terrain you want to ride. You may spend upwards of $50 for a pair of new bike tires, but if you're planning to get into cycling at all this will be money well spent.

I've been running this tire on the rear wheel of my 29er trail bike. It is more of a cross country type tire than the semi-slick. Rolls really well and climbs great. Highly recommend it for the more off-road type of riding.
