The Giant Talon1 came with 2.5" Maxxis tires. If Mountain biking on trails is your thing, they'd be great. My thing was mostly city streets so I wanted a road tire which could standup to some crap roads and one which was more narrow and as such, made less noise and had less friction with the road. Enter the Serfas. Great tire. Bought the 1.5" on Amazon.
