is this REALLY a nice wide 2.3" tire or a little more narrow? Some manufacturers advertise as 2.3 but its really 2.1 -- thanks for your help!

This tire is nice and wide but... expect pinch flats if you ride hard and run less than 40 psi, it has the feel of an under-inflated tire - even when maxed out at 60 psi.

I'm quite happy with the tires. If they were any wider,I would have to delete them a bit to get them past the brakes when removing the wheels. For this reason I felt they were as wide as one could buy without becoming an inconvenience. Enjoy!

These are excellent tires, one of my all time favorites, but they are definitely not a true 2.3 width tire. But than again, most 2.1s are actually 1.9-2.0 as well.

Hello. A 2.1" tire is only very slightly wider than a 1.95", so I am virtually certain it will fit. I would think this width difference is common within one tire size simply due to knob design. Further, most bike builders leave extra room around the tire area of the frame and forks for mud build-up. My understanding is that the studs are replaceable, but I do not know how. So far I have not lost a single stud. I really like these tires.

You can use a tire from 1.75 to 2.25 inches wide. I didn't measure the width as it is installed.

I don't understand where people come up with things. It's a 23 mm tire that holds 150 psi. I run them at 120. Where does "comfort" or "harsh" fit in here? They handle as well as the Michelin Pro Racers I used to ride, they're cheaper, and they last 3-4 times as long.

I have had trouble in the past with getting the tires to fit a small rim....they are wide. I would encourage trying it out at a bike shop first before ordering them. I was able to get them on my bike but mine were 700x28c. That is the smallest I think i would go. They were somewhat difficult to fit....and barely did at that!

4.8/4.0-8 apparently means a tire that is 4.8" high, 4.0" wide on an 8" wheel. Those are the markings on my wheelbarrow tire as well. Everything I'm finding indicates that is a 16" or so tire, not 13" like this one. There are other no-flat tires listed on Amazon that explicitly say they replace a 4.8/4.0-8 tire.

yes 24mm is the width. according to http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html, you'd probably want a 44 to 54 tire. this would be more like a hybrid than a road bike tire.

Works great...with my set up.not sure what size tire your wanting to run...I would recommend a offset wheel rather than factory rims..factory wheels are 7 1/2" offset I bought 8 1/2" offset wheels for clearance on inside frame and better ride..I'm running 265/70/17 nittos I got almost 4" higher with lift and tires looks and handles awesome...

Hello.The factory 255/70-17 tire is 'recommended' for wheels up to 8.5" wide. That being said, we have seen customers use their OEM tires on this wheel.Thanks,BWT

Marketing names. They are all the same. Officially it is 700c (tire size) 23mm tire width.

The one I have is marked as 26x2.1 so its bigger. It fits on my WTB SX24 rim without problem. The SX24 rim can take a 2.0 to 2.3" as far as I have read on the internet. Your rim can probably handle a range of tire sizes also.

Most tubes give a min max tire size. A 2.0 to a 2.25 would work fine for a 2.1 tire.

This tire is about one inch taller than the stock 265/70/16 .People do run them but you will probably have some rub on front tires when turned all the way.

I installed a pair of these 26x1.75 tires on my 26 inch comfort/commuter bike. Installed and inflated, the widest part of the tire measures 48mm or 1.88 inches wide. That was a surprise because Continental tires have a reputation for being narrower than the label width.

Hey Joel- The size I bought was 31.5" or so, across from the center of the wheel (tread to tread) just use a tape measure or yard stick. the tires were 7:50 X 16 this crosses with a 235 X 85 R 16-- they are darn near the same! a 255 is a little fatter/wider/lower and a 70 series is less tire, rim to tread but the wheel is 2" taller to start with so it is best to just measure it yourself as there are many sizes of tire covers. just keep going down the lists until you find your size. hope this helps. Linseed oil also helps the rubber if it sits all winter. (the tires I have is what is best in snow) Nick W.

The 8" wide is the width I would recommend for that size tire. We have them available for quick shipment if you want them.

The size is the same. (I think these come from different vendors...check the vendor when you select the size and see if it changes) I think the main thing to look for is if the tire is foldable or not. I bought the non-folding tires. They are a little heavier, but cost less. Folding tires cost a bit more, but are more expensive. You have to really look at the weight between the tires to tell them apart. I think the 700x23c are 280 grams for non folding and 230 grams for the folding. I am a big guy, so weight isn't an issue. I'm 6'5" 225lbs and these work great. I just did a half Ironman triathlon with them and had no issues. The size is the same.
