>>991183It's a case by case thing, depends on the road and level of traffic and your speed and other factors. But it is important to always leave a margin of at least about a meter (3 feet) between you and the curb to give you room to swerve towards the curb in an emergency.

Unless you'd rather be a dork
>>991065PANARACER
>>990941Or a different riding position or different bars or different bar height or different bar angle or different saddle height/angle/position or different something else
>>990839Depends what you mean by hybrid. Some are good (Sirrus, Vita, FX, Muirwoods 29er, Tachyon, etc). Some are not (beach cruisers/comfort bikes which some people refer to as "hybrids")
>>990805Something used
At that price range you are probably better off buying a 90s rigid mtb and putting semislicks on it, but you might get lucky and find a good deal on a used hybrid

Don't get a new bike for 300 dollars/euros/whatever
It will break after a year
>>990757Please don't do this
>>990711>>990742Like $30-50 per tire. I would go something a little narrower than what you have. Someone else suggested Schwalbe Marathons. They're very durable but they're basically tanks, very slow rolling. I would suggest considering Michelin City, Specialized Nimbus, Vittoria Randonneur, Panaracer Pasela, Specialized Roadsport, Specialized Roubaix, Specialized All Condition (lots of Specialized only because the LBS I work at sells them so I know more Specialized tires than other brands; nothing against other brands)
Some of those I listed are very pavement-oriented but still semislicks, so they'll still handle gravel fine (for example, I wouldn't hesitate to ride 100km on gravel on Paselas...). Which tires you get depends on how much you value speed vs comfort, how much you'll be on pavement vs gravel, etc.
