Replacing tires, size question

jazu said:

HI I need to replace stock tires. Original stock size is
26 X 1.95. What flexibility do I have with new tires size?
Do I have to put exactly the same size?

Only the '26' has to remain the same. The 1.95 can go either
way, as long as the new tire will clear the chain- and seat-
stays. (2.3 or 2.4 probably the limit wide-wise.)

I'm thinking to put Continental Town and Country which
apparently are little bigger.(is that a good choice?)

Sound like slicks -- you sure they're bigger?

No way to say whether they're a good choice without knowing
your riding style and habits. What kind of terrain are we
talking about here?

Mostly pavement and some trail in the park, you know some
stones, tree roots. Mountain bike, but no mountains
involved🙂

Semi-slicks or maybe something "small-knobbied" then,
depending on how much of what you do.

You'll probably have a difficult time finding something that
will do both pavement and tree roots well, especially if the
tree roots regularly get wet. The Continental Twisters might
do the job. I've been pleased with them in the past.
