My bad. The stock tires are 1.95 inches.

How would a narrower 26x1.5 tire handle my weight? As mentioned, I weigh 330-340 pounds and I’ve heard a wider tire is better than narrower for people who weigh more, as mpetry912 has mentioned. I’m assuming the 26x1.5 tire would be run at a higher pressure - would that counteract that effect of being narrower in terms of the weight it can handle?
