I ordered a set of Nashbar Prima 2 tires since they were only 9.99 each and were somewhat highly regarded. The bike had the original tires on it... so I can't claim abuse on the part of the original owner. I think this bike has seen a lot of basement time, since my current commuter is only 4 years old and has 5 times as many paint scratches[ as well as two rear rims].
