I recently bought a cannondale super V used. It had good tires on it... I think but they are dried out and the studs are tearing away from the tire. And cracking.

So I've been looking on ebay for a good pair,

How are those, or these

I've never bought tires (since I got my first bike a month ago... only ridden it twice though since I broke my collar bone the first day I bought it)

Advice? Doing a lot of trails with hard dirt, a little sand and a lot of rocks.

Sorry for my ignorance... is the 2.25 the width? So 1.95 is more narrow, which would work?


Edit: Current tires are continental 26x2.0, Rims are 26x1.75

Edit: these are my continental tires, http://cgi.ebay.com/2-NEW-Continental-Traction-Pro-26-X-2-0-Bike-Tires-544C_W0QQitemZ330017116386QQihZ014QQcategoryZ27954QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
