what determines the width of the tire, the tube, the tire or the rim
1170673
you need to find the size printed on the tire or the old tube. If you do not know the size you need by finding it on the old tube or tire, google the bicycle and try to find it online. A bike shop would know if you took it to them.

Bolt pattern on all tires is measured by how many holes and distance between the centers if the bolt holes. 4" centers means the center from any hole to the center of any hole directly across from the hole you are measuring to.

Look on the tire's sidewall. The tire size will be there in raised lettering. You will find two numbers, something like 26x2.0 or 700x23. When you go to buy a tube, the first number on the tire (the 26 or the 700) and the first number of the tube size on the box must match exactly. The second number on the tube box will be a range, like 1.8-2.3 or 19-26. Your tire width must be within that range for the tube to fit.

Here is the long answer that should tell you everything you need to know about tubes and tires. First off, let's decode some of the numbers. 700C or 29" are both the rim size ISO 622 (that is 622mm in diameter where the bead of the tire seats on the rim). When you're looking at road tires, they're more likely to say 700C (from an old French system of naming tire/rim sizes) and when you're looking at mountain tires, they're more likely to say 29". Occasionally, some European tires, especially Continental, will try to confuse the matter by calling them 28" - but look fir the 622 to be sure of the size. 23/25 or 18-23 on a tube indicate a range of tire widths with which the tube is compatible. Since an 18mm wide tire has a much smaller cross section than a 25mm tire (just imagine those as the diameter of a circle), a tube designed to fit a 25mm tire can be much too big for an 18mm tire. In that case you'd risk getting the tube folded on iteself or pinched under the tire's bead - both of which can cause a flat. So, when selecting a tube, you should get the narrowest range that will fit. If you had a 23mm wide tire, 18/23 would be a better choice than 23/25, though both will be better than a 28/32, for example. The 48 or 42 mm length listed below is the length of the presta stem. Different manufacturers measure stems differently, so it's hard to get an accurate comparison, but a 32 will be shorter than a 42 will be shorter than a 60 and so on. You just need 12-15mm of stem to stick beyond the rim so you can get a pump onto it, though, for some people, a little extra length isn't a bother. If you've got a deep rim, you'll need a longer valve stem. But if the 48mm stick through with plenty of extra, a 42 is a safe choice. ORDER ROAD RACE TUBE. Thus is your present tire is a 25, I would get the 20-25 tube, less chance of the tube folding over or pinching it because it is too big. Hope all of this information is useful in the future.

Hubcap size Information:1) All tires have a "tire size series" printed on sidewall, which can show you the tire size correctly2) The last two digits following the R denote the wheel size. Example: 215/60R16 which mean wheel size is 16. 3) Tire size need to match the hubcap size for correct fitment4) The vesicle needs to has steel wheels and using hubcaps.

I am getting 4 rims and I would like to get 4 tire but I would like to choose my bran of tire

As others have answered, the inside measurement of the wheel holders is 3 1/2". I drew a 4" diameter circle to represent a cross section of the tire and then drew a line from one side of the tire to the other where the line was 3 1/2 inches, the width inside the wheel holder. Measuring the distance from that line to the bottom of the circle, I found that to be 1", i.e. the tire will sit down at least one inch into the wheel holder. With the ratchet clamps tightened down against the bike frame, I would be comfortable that the tires would not pop out of the wheel holders. It's not optimal, but I think it would work.Rick As others have answered, the inside measurement of the wheel holders is 3 1/2".

There is a Two Number System and a Three Number System, which is located on the side of the tire. The Two Number System will show something like 4.80-8. This number means the width of the tire is 4.8 inches and the diameter of the rim that fits the tire is 8 inches. A Three Number System will show 16x6.5-8, meaning the height of the tire is 16 inches, the width is 6.5 inches and the diameter of the rim that fits the tire is 8 inches. I hope this helps

The Width of the Tire in Metric. 700x35 Means the tire is 700mm (28. 375") Tall and 35mm (1.375") Wide. This link helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

These require inner tubes. Tires... Whatever you prefer, 23 to 25mm width are the most common width for road tired

Tire size is what determines fit on the wheel....make sure it is also a fit for load rating....being a Michelin. .....probably a safe bet

You can check the size required for the one currently on the car. You then can use that to determine if the tire fits your car.

Width you will want to be in a 305 to 325 range to keep the tires bead seated properly. Height has a lot of vehicle variables. 2 or 4 wheel drive, lifter or lowered, on road or off road use? When looking for tires remember that the middle number (305/50R20) 50 represents the height of the sidewall of the tire, the bigger that number the taller the tire becomes. Likewise the smaller the numbe the shorter it becomes.

Car tires come in all widths. Trailer tires are task specific. The side walls are heavy duty compared to passenger tires, for an increased load range. Trailer tires tend to be slightly narrower than the full size automobile tire. When used on a dual axel trailer , scuffing when turning is reduced to a minimum.

To answer your measurement question, its one and one sixteenth inch. Although I have a Surly Karate Monkey, and they flare out where the tire sits between the chain stays. Most bikes do this. Surly brand bikes tend to have more tire clearance than average though. My measurement from the rim really does not have much to do with the tire fit. I made a rough measurement "with rear wheel on bike" the widest point where the tire sits between the chain stays is two and three quarter inches. Hope that helps. -Chris

The rear spacing is 120mm and the rim width is 19mm. With the rim width at 19mm, when you install a 23mm tire, the tire will bulge out like a light bulb shape. With a 23mm width rim and 23mm tire, the tire will sit flat which equals better traction an cornering.

It's a tire not a tube. The tube determines the valve type. This will work with any correct size tube
