Amanda, it may be time to have that great guy get you your own great bike happy

Jennifer, I'm going to assume that you're asking about tires in general (not BMX specific). Tire width is really a matter of personal preference. Width varies from about 1.95-2.5" with the average sizes sold being 2.1-2.3". The narrower tires are best for cross country riding. At 2.5" you have a tire that will have the heaviest weight. If you are concerned about minimizing the weight of your bike, they may not be the best choice. But, if you're into aggressive downhill riding, 2.5" may be the way to go!
