On/Off Road Tires: Those tires that have street tread down the center and knobby tread on the sides.

It'll look weird. I don't care. I think it'll work. Do you have any advice?
I knew someone who had one of those (single speed) and it worked ok for them. It did look wierd as heck though.

Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!
