My question, I am sure I don't need these exact tires, but, what am I open to buying as their replacements? What size range?
Thanks so much for suffering this question and helping a new cyclist out!
Depends on the rims, can you tell what make and model they are? If so you can look up their specs online.
If you can't, then safest bet is to stay within a couple mm of the tires that were on there.
