The Kenda tire in your link seems just fine for commuting. And you really should learn at least the basics: in byrd's post above: wheel size=26 (this is the diameter of the wheel) and the 1.9 number quoted above is the nominal width of the tire. Lower numbers mean skinnier tires. He's stating that Forte-brand, $9 1.5-thick tires seem to work great for him.

These things are good to know as you'll want to carry at least one spare inner tube and a basic set of tools (for the inevitable flat, seat post height adjustment, etc.).
