I'm actually looking to change up the tires on both of these bikes.. the K838 are great for mixed terrain but they are heavy and not very supple. I have the same tires on my 1986 Diamondback Apex which is used for grocery getting and hauling and I like them a lot for that bike. But I feel like they are slowing me down on the drop bar mtb

The 700x30 Kenda Kwicks are ok but I'd like to try a fatter, fully slick tire since I ride mostly on the road. 30mm isn't too bad but being used to mtb tires, i feel a little less confident smashing through the streets, especially with the skinny rims
