Advise on this Cannondale please

I have put a couple of stone on and I am now a hefty 16st 10ib

As such I thought I would start again with a mountain bike as I think I am too heavy for my Carbon road bike at the moment.

So I thought I would look for a Mountain bike that would carry my weight and also be fun on and off the road.

Would this bike be ok if I changed to some slick tyres?
