I am going to purchase a road bike soon and ride it on the 'trails' around my house. By trails I mean asphault trails that wind through the forests and such. I've seen how rail thin and fragile the tires look and was wondering how durable the tires are? Are the tires meant to take a some rough action or will they pop if a rock gets under it? Basically, should I aim for a Cyclocross bike b/c of the different tires or are road bike tires tougher than I am thinking. THanks
