Tyre width - Hello Kitty tread

Matt said:

I just swapped a 26x1.35 tyre for a 26x1.0. It all seems to fit and rides
OK - is this likely to be a problem (apart from the expensive narrower
tubes!)?

The section on width considerations should give you food for thought.

Unfortunately not available in a size I could use.

I prefer the Nokian AWS:

As others have said, the Nokian AWS also has a fun tread pattern and is
available in sizes you could use. I've had a pair - they're good and I'd
have no problem recommending them. And I really like the funky tread
pattern. I like the Hello Kitty one, too - I'm surprised this sort of
thing isn't more common.
