KK. Yea the tires that came with my bike (trek 4300) are horrible. Everyone who has that bike agrees. Trails here in Long island are just dirt and gravel, nothing too serious unfortunately :/. Il just put in some decent tires on.I don't have enough experience to know anything about tires, except that different tires are better for different types of terrain. So even if I had a preferred tire, it might be horrible for the trails you ride. I just use the tires that came with the bike.
For Long Island, you will generally be needing an Cross-Country (XC) tire, though a somewhat less aggressive All-Mountain (AM) type would probably work OK too. There's a lot of overlap between the two.KK. Yea the tires that came with my bike (trek 4300) are horrible. Everyone who has that bike agrees.

I hope you don't plan to use that "mountain bike" for any actual mountain bike trails. Those bikes are really just "recreational bikes" with "mountain bike styling". You'll probably even find warnings/disclaimers somewhere about how the bike is intended for use on smooth surfaces only, no jumps, etc.and a $99 Aldi mountain bike at the moment.

The cheap mountain bike was better than I thought it would be, just the heavy wheels.
