I don't know WHY I don't just go get my danged tires and the heck with what he says....

He will go a LOT faster if he has slick tires. Does that help???

If he does ride on dirt, he won't want slicks, though. The idea of having 2 sets of tires is good, but boy what a pain that would be every time you wanted to do a different ride. Are you riding your MTB only on the road?? If so, then you really should switch out the tires. Best thing - switch them out and then ride with him and he can see how much easier it is for you to ride!! You may need to be the trend setter here.
