I have a Trek Multitrack 7100 hybrid.

Will Kenda Kross Supreme dirt tires fit?

The Trek has Bontrager Invert, 700x35c, max 80 PSI tires.

The Kenda Kross Supremes (http://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/kenda-kross-supreme) are: 700x35c, max 85 PSI.

It will be ridden on dirt trails.

Other suggestions?

Same size, will fit. You could consider going to a wider tire if you will be riding loose dirt. Certainly a 38 or 42, perhaps even a 45.

Right on.

I thought there would be compatibility issues with bigger sizes and limited myself to the Kenda Kross tires.
