Time to remove the old tire.. it can be tricky by hand.. a set of tire spoons will help.

I highly recommend the same tire.. DO NOT get a treaded tire.. it's dangerous because larger rocks can get jammed and end ending results would not be good.. there probably is a harder compound slick tire with the same size but i never checked. Also I highly recommend staying with vega tires because not all companies make them the exact same size even with the exact same number.. | I highly recommend the same tire..
