You can use any tire that says 16 X (whatever) as long as (whatever) is a decimal, such as 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, etc. You cannot use a tire with a fraction (16 x 1 3/8) because that is a different size.
I have had good luck with Maxxis Hookworms (yes, I know, but you have to disregard the name) and Schwalbe Big Apples, pretty good luck with Schwalbe Marathons, very bad luck with Primo Comets.
