If you do anything I suggest you try and get them to swap the tires before you leave the store. You will go much faster and smoother with them if you are going to be using this bike on the road.

Thanks for the advice, Blake. Since this is a learning experience for me, I think I will stick with the stock tires to get started, but I will diffinately consider a change down the road as I get more into this and want to customize my ride. My commute will be road only, so I can see wanting the speedier tires once I feel a little more confident about what I'm doing. Thanks again!
