My wife has a Verve 2+. The tires dragged on the fenders, and since we stay on the road, I replaced them with Schwalbe Marathon Supremes in a 42. You would prob want their Marathon Plus 440 or 492. I have been trying to get the 492s for a year.

I put a Thudbuster on it, she loves it.

What is your leg length? If you're all leg, and you actually need a 190, you'll be glad it has a high bottom bracket. You prob don't want more than a 180. Spin, don't mash..

Her bike doesn't have mtb style forks up front. I'm not a fan of cheap forks like that. If you decide to swap forks, see if the older model fork will fit. If you want shock absorbtion, get a suspension stem. I have a Redshift on my bike, it's ok. That also saves a little weight.
