I'm looking at tires for my 26" wheels. I have found tires from 1", 1.2" 1'3" up through 2" Some weigh as little as 250 grams up past 600. I want as fast a tire as possible, I'm used to 23 mm tires on my road bike. I found some 26" Continental Grand Prix 1' wide, 25mm. recommended as long wearing, puncture resistant touring tires over at biketiresdirect.com. I'm not planing on any off road riding, but I know sometimes it's unavoidable. Is 25mm too small? I'm not worried about ride comfort as my bike has a shock in front and a small 1" pivot less shock in the rear. I'll be pulling a BOB trailer with no extra weight on the bike.
What size tires do you use?

I've been considering these tires
