If they look a little too flattened for your liking, take down all the numbers off your present tires, and also off the rim/wheel Take these numbers to a quality FAMILY, not racing, bike shop and ask for the widest medium pressure tire that will fit. Maybe something lie a "Big Apple, a nice big tire that takes 80lbs maybe. This should help. Yes,. first make sure the tires are pumped up to maximum pressure.

If they're standard MTB style wheels and tires, they can handle 65psi easily. If they're skinny road tires (unlikely), they may be able to take 120-150psi. Check the sidewall of one of the tires. Max pressure will be marked there. My friend has a tandem, and obviously the tires handle two of us. Granted, we're not huge, but still. I know nothing about solid tires, but in addition to being heavy, they'll give you a really harsh ride. Good luck with your program. Getting out the door and started is always the hardest part.
