They are meant for the trails etc, so the wheels are already what you want.
You may choose slicker or knobbier tires depending on what you intend to ride on, which is what I did. I switched my knobbies for Vittoria Randonneurs on my Surly cuz I don't really need knobbies when mostly I ride on asphalt and only a little packed dirt.
