I am looking for some Street Tires for my '03 Diamondback Response.
The tires that came with the bike are 26x1.95. How narrow can I go on
these rims? 26x1.5? 26x1.25?
Thanks

have any trouble with either of those sizes. Narrower than 1.25 might
be a bit dodgy, and would likely give a very harsh ride.See: http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/559
