I've finally made up my mind and going to get this one. However, I've read that the OEM tires are not very flat resistant. I'm wanting to swap tires at the time of purchase to save a little $.

I know that the LBS has Serfas and Vittoria, and probably Kenda. I'll confirm tomorrow with the LBS on what their selection is.

The terrain will be paved MUP and roads with loose sand and the odd gravel patch and hard pack.
