Back to hybrid tires...

I posted this before and didn't get much of response. I have a 2011 Vita Comp on hold for me (I checked w/ LBS about potential recall on fork. I was told that in an abundance of caution, Specialized stopped the sale of 2011 Vita/Sirrus. By end of week a decision will be made whether to leave it or switch the fork if it's a real issue.)

Anyway, I love the Vita Comp. But the tires bug me. I ride a mountain bike. I don't do heavy dirt but pretty much everything else. I consider myself a Ms. Magoo cyclist. I jump over curbs, run over large objects in the road, take some rocky trails and just like to go.

So, I'm thinking about switching the Vita tires for a wider tread & bulkier tire. LBS seemed more than happy to switch them out for me. I've read about puncture issues with the Vita/Sirrus tires.

Any ideas on what tire I should go for? LBS also pointed out that there's more room for a larger tire than on the standard road bike.

Your thoughts are appreciated! Thanks.
