Yes it should be fine up to somewhere in the 45c. The only concern would be if the tyre actually fits on your bike! Usually if you get wider tyres, it'll rub agains the frame (for the rear) or fork (for the front).
Hey Corey, Usually road bike tyres back then would have 27" x "somethng" or 28" x something. Your best bet would be reading the rim itself, not the tyre. If there are any numbers on the rim, it would increase the chances of finding the correct size. Find anything that looks like: "32 - 630", "19- 635", "22-622" etc. The 3 digits is what you'll look out for. 630 = 27 inch tyre 635 = 28 inch tyre 622 = 700c Tyre The 2 digits are the thickness of the rim in milimeters. Thickness wise for the tyre you're after, convert the 2 digits to inches. e.g. 32mm = 1.25 inches which they say is 1 1/4 inches So for the 32-630 rim, the tyre you would need is a 27 x 1 1/4 tyre. Hope that helps ☺
So I've been given this bike been used and worn down , the tire wheels need replacing but the sides of there's is none existent ( there aren't any labels displaying the tire / wheels size but there are 2 stickers on the inner bit of the wheel one 32 and 35 so are these the wheel size how do I find out without labels
Hey Fareeda, it’ll be tricky with just those numbers. If you have a tape measure tyre measuring the diameter of the rim itself. That’ll be the best way to find out the tyre size. 622mm = 700c tyre 604mm = 27” tyre 559mm = 26” tyre Hope that helps
Yes you can usually go wider or thinner. I'd suggest not going below 26 x 1.75" depending on the width of your rim. The only concern would be if the wider tyre actually fits on your bike! Usually if you get wider tyres, it'll rub agains the frame (for the rear) or fork (for the front).
@@supatanbikesco.2097 I have a bicycle with 26x1.75 tires. Will a 26x2.125 tire fit? I can't seem to find tires of the same size my bicycle originally came equipped with, consequently driving me to ask you this question.
Hey @@AbdullahBasit24 Yes you should be able to go up to a 26 x 2.125 easily. The only concern would be if the wider tyre actually fits on your bike! Usually if you get wider tyres, it'll rub agains the frame (for the rear) or fork (for the front). Roughly measure the clearance of the fork as well as the rear triangle of where the tyres will pass through. If its wider than 2.25" in the gap then go ahead and get those tyres! Thanks
😭thank you for making this video none of my google/bing results gave me anything useful and I'm a complete dud when it comes to bikes bc I get so overwhelmed with the sheer volume of random stuff one could possibly know about them lol
You can actually get "Slick Tyres" at 2.0". It will make it roll smoother and you can usually have a higher "psi" so it will be harder, again, making it roll smoother because of less friction on the ground. Minimum thickness wise, you should be fine with 1.75"
I've actually a fat tire snow bike with wheel size 26"4" but i don't know how to calculate it's circumference in millimeters for setting up a bike computer, so can you plz tell me what value should i put in speedometer to set it with my bike ? thanks
Hey! Upgrading to a wider tyre only by 2mm should be perfectly fine. No need to change the rim. Only things to watch out for is the gap between the tyre and the bike frame. Make sure theres enough room to upgrade without the new tyre rubbing onto the frame. With the interior, there should be marks / written numbers on the interior that let you know what size tyre it would fit. (eg. 700x35-42c) Check this website for tyre sizing charts to fit rims: www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter/tire-size-chart-for-bicycle-rim.html All the best!
Yeah that is a tough one. I did have a 20 x 3.0 a few months ago and even the tube took a while to find. You'll have to just keep searching. www.velogear.com.au/20-x-3-0-tyre.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwxdSHBhCdARIsAG6zhlXeyg3WJBNXNp0B6Gr-LMd4LYnzbGGdaomBbl7W8H6eSnzzwT0E_Q8aAokDEALw_wcB Try that
Someone's asking me about .8 or 1.2??? I do not see that on my 700x23c tires. Do you know what this person is talking about? Thanks. Been riding bikes all my life. I've never been questioned on this before and I'm selling one now. What a pain.
Hey! you’ll have to measure the rim size if you can’t read the tyre. Find the diameter of the rim in mm and depending on number you get will depend on the type of tyre you’ll have 👍🏼 Eg. 622 rim will be 700c tyre 559 rim will be 26” tyre
You can still just swap it with the same sized ones! Just get a new pair of 26 x 2.10 mtb tyres. You’ll most likely be able to go up a size as well (26 x 2.25). Just make sure there’s enough clearance on the frame and fork so the tyres don’t rub!
the outermost diameter of my fat bike's inflated tire is measured at more then 29", and it's 22.5" for the rim... but on the tire it says '26x4.0'.... i know the 4" is for the tire width but where is it getting the 26" ?
In your road bike example how does 53 x 599 mm convert to 26 x 1.95 inches? 53mm is 2.09 inches and 599mm is 23.58 inches. Even more confusing is the lettering on my ebike Kenda Juggernaut tire, 100/90-22, which I'm told converts to 26 x 4 inches. The Kenda lettering looks like a car tire sizing which converts to 3.94 inches wide, 90% sidewall profile, and 29.09 inches tall (for a 22-inch rim diameter). If I measure the tire diameter from top to bottom with a tape measure I indeed get 29 inches, so why do they say the size of this tire is 26 x 4?
Hey Roger! It doesn't really matter in terms of thickness beteween the two. Both will be compatible with the rim. You'll just have to make sure there is clearance for a 32c tyre for your bike frame. If it's a hybrid bike, you'll most likely have plenty of room for the 32c tyre. If it's a road bike (racer), double check the 1.Fork inner width (where the tyres will go past) as some forks do not have enough clearance for more than 28c. 2. Rear chainstay area (also where the tyres will go past). Like the fork, some frames do not have enough clearance for more than 28c. Hope that helps! ☺
R U still asking listeners to send messages and questions here? The reason for this: If a tire is "knobby" (has "knobs"), do you include the "knobs" in the measurement?
Yo. I learnt how to read bike tire sizes today. Respekt the grind g.
Thanks Coleioli, I'm glad it was helpful :)
Simple and cut to the chase, thank you
Thank you for enlightening me. I am deeply indebted to you.
Thank you, just trying to know the information on sidewall and now I understand.

Mine is 38×700c. Can i install wider tires
Yes it should be fine up to somewhere in the 45c.

How would I find the size of my road bike tire, the tire is like 50 years old so there is no rubber on the side wall
Hey Corey,
Usually road bike tyres back then would have 27" x "somethng" or 28" x something.
Your best bet would be reading the rim itself, not the tyre. If there are any numbers on the rim, it would increase the chances of finding the correct size.
Find anything that looks like: "32 - 630", "19- 635", "22-622" etc.
The 3 digits is what you'll look out for.
630 = 27 inch tyre
635 = 28 inch tyre
622 = 700c Tyre
The 2 digits are the thickness of the rim in milimeters. Thickness wise for the tyre you're after, convert the 2 digits to inches.
e.g. 32mm = 1.25 inches which they say is 1 1/4 inches
So for the 32-630 rim, the tyre you would need is a 27 x 1 1/4 tyre.
Hope that helps ☺
