Hybrid bikes get you around town with the agility of a road bike while offering the rugged-terrain handling of a mountain bike. Tires for your hybrid bike differ from either a pure road bike or mountain bike tire. Designed for smoother riding on pavement, they also offer additional traction for adverse conditions like rain snow and mud. The best hybrid bike tires won't be too slick or too knobby and will give you a comfortable ride on any terrain.

WTB Pathway Hybrid Bike Tire

Designed with a chevron-like tread pattern, the WTB Pathway Hybrid Bike Tire is a moderately-priced tire (MSRP $22.99 as of February 2010) offering decent traction on pavement and dirt surfaces alike.

Continental City Contact Reflex Hybrid Bike Tire

A vibration-dampening tire, the Continental City Contact Reflex is ideal for those commuting long distances and looking for a little relief from the road.

Panaracer Cross Town Hybrid Touring Bike Tire

If you live in an area prone to heavier rainfall, the Panaracer Cross Town Hybrid Touring Bike Tire is ideal. The tread design routes water away from the tire, keeping much of the tire surface in contact with the road at all times. While the deep tread may not be as quiet as a smoother tread tire, it should be a consideration for those with rougher, wetter commutes. (MSRP $40.00 as of February 2010)
