well thanks for the advice guys i rode a couple of other bikes and wound back up at the specialized.i did not like the tires i thought they would work better on my trek i use for getting back and forth to work it is a comfort bike but i needed some better grip on it.i bought these for the specialized they are kenda nevagal are these ok. they looked like they would work better in some of the muddy places i ride in even though it is still relitivley flat ground.

i also would like to upgrade my helmet from the one i presently own, any suggestions.
the one i use now is a trek helmet i got at a thrift store,it serves its purpose but i need something better.

and i would also like to get a different set of pedals just something a little better than whats on there now,more grip and less slip.i dont need locking pedals or pedal cages just a good set of offroad platforms i guess is what you would call it
