I just picked up a pair of continental city ride II reflex tires in 700 x 42cc size. They'll be going on my trek xcaliber 6. I've read and reread bunches of information regarding the inner and outer diameter differences and the fact that as long as the tire is wider than the inside of the rim you should be fine, etc.

Right now my bike has a set of 29x2.2 in front and 29x2.0 for the rear. They're knobbies and I primarily ride my bike on the road to work and the bike path (paved) with my wife and 2 kids. The tires were fine but they have various places where the knobs are torn off down the middle and on the sides and in the wet they plain suck.

My question again is, will the tires I picked up fit? And are they a decent tire?

Thanks
