I Want to Run Road Tires

[jeryruse]

hey, i have a mountain bike that i have been using for riding to a from work/school/anywhere and i have recently decided that i wanted to make this bike a little better.

right now i am running the heavily knobbed tires that come standard and i figure that is the first thing to go.

the tires i am running right now are 26x1.95
the rims have a marking that says 26x1.75

i would like to use the thinnest tires i can seeing as i am always on the pavement.

so my question is what size tires does my rim support? and what size would you recommend?

also, what kind of tread should i get?
