We are planning a trip to the trail this fall and I would like to bring my own bike...rather than rent, but I have a question. My bike has the thinner, hybrid-type tires. Not as thin as a road bike, of course, but not the off-road knobbies either. Will they be workable for the trail, or will I be bogging down half the time? Thanks in advance. - Mike G

Your hybrid tires will work fine.

I agree, your hybrid tires are perfect for the KATY.

Confirmed, hybrid tires are an excellent match for the Katy Trail surface.

I have used both MTB and hybrid tires on the trail and both seem to work well. Have fun!
