Hi guys so right now i have a 2.30 in the front and back but my local bike shop guy said i need a smaller tires in the back because i have and older frame the tire it to fat for my back part of the frame. So should i stick with it or get a smaller tire in the back would a fat tire cause any problem on the back part of the frame. Yes or no for 2.10 tires in the front and back.

small back if you dont want all new tires
i like skinny tires for street because it reduces rolling resistance and i dont need to true my wheels at all

2.10 with 2.30 will make a perfect setup.
Personnaly i don't like the feel of a thin tire (2.10) in the front.

I'd get an animal glh in 2.10. Its less rolling resistance, which is always great. also, you wouldn't have to true your wheels as much.
btw the animal glh is $13.99 on dans right now which is pretty much a deal breaker

I run two 2.1 glh but used to run just one in the back with a 2.3 in the front and that felt good two. Just run what you want. But a glh is always a good choice.
I love my bike but i hate myself

you will role easy and far but with that small of a tire you wont have a lot of grip on the front to turn as a 2.30 would.
Big in front and small in back is good for rolling while being able to turn good as well
