Is the 26 x 1.375 version correct for the vintage Raleigh tire size, usually stated as 26 x 1 3/8, or in Schwalbe's modern metric: 37 x 590mm? Thanks.

I have no personal experience with the size you ask about, but the 26 x 1.375 size listed is the decimal equivalent to the 26 x 1-3/8 fractional size. You can check yourself using pencil & paper or a calculator and divide 3 by 8, the result everytime is 0.375. I don't see a metric equivalent of 590mm x 37mm listed ( the rim size is typically listed first). You could also check with local bike shops on which metric tires fit your wheels.

Nope. You need tires marked 26 x 1-3/8. Been there, done that. On Amazon, your choice is limited (no fancy stuff like Schwalbe, so far as I know) but Kenda has you covered. Do you really need a $40 tire on an old steel rim English wheel? If I could, I'd send you a link to the tire I have in mind. If you answer this post, I'll give you the ISO size you need.

Look at your current tire and get the numbers off it and then match it up to the tire you are looking at. ie: 26 x 2.175. 26 means it is a 26 inch tire. You do not want to buy a 28 inch tire for a 26 inch rim. Then match the 2.125, 2.175 etc and you will hav a perfect match. hope this helped

From what I've read, the Conti GP 4-Seasons only come in three sizes - 23, 25 & 28mm. The 700x28's are what I bought to replace my old Vittoria 700X32's. The 700x28 is a significantly narrower tire (which is what I wanted) and they actually measure closer to 26mm. The benefit is a significantly faster-rolling tire than any 32-35mm tire (and most other 28's, too!). The negative is a harsher ride, especially compared to big, cushy 35mm's. I've had a few flats with them, so they're not as 'bulletproof' as they're made out to be, but all-in-all, they're great tires!

I am using Schwalbe 27x1 1/4 tires. It is perfect for the application I use my bike.

Yes that is the tire size. 26 is 26 inches diameter and 150 is 1 1/2" width.

I'm not sure what you mean. 419 mm = 16.5 inches (rounding off a little). Unless the 419mm is an artifact of some arcane wheel measurement system that specifies a 20 inch tire, it will not fit. Being a 20 inch tire, it fits a 20 inch wheel.

Based on the specs on the Continental site (http://www.conti-online.com/www/bicycle_de_en/themes/city/Allround/tourride_en.html), I believe the one you are referring to is a 650b (584mm) tire. I believe a 26er tire would be 559mm, which is the 26x1.75 tire according to the chart.

I agree with the previous answer. My original tire was 26x2.0 and I've had no problems. I believe there's a fitting guide on Shrldon Brown's website for additional reference.

Hello Martin, I'm not an expert in the jargon which wheel and tire manufacturers use for specs., English and metric, etc. Here is American layman specs: overall wheel diameter is 9.5"; rim diameter is 5.25"; hub depth is about 2.22", hub diameter is 5/8"; tread width is 1.75". I think the 10" spec. by manufacturer is "nominal" wheel diameter...the actual diameter is, as given above: 9.5". The quality of the wheel is good and it's solid rubber..I hate tires which lose air.
2041189
The dimentions are correct that are shown on the item. The only problem I had was the tire warped the first day out for a ride. Now it will not hold air. Inside diameter of the wheel is 10"

DOT CP8B b5M6 4612 ..... Or 500108. Thats all i can find other than the tire sizes

You have to go by the ISO # which is the tire seat diameter in mm. There are 5 diffrent rim size's for the 26 inch tire and they are not interchangable. Raleigh and schiwenn bikes have their own rim size so you have to go by the ISO#.

They make a 31x10.5x15 that is not quite 31" , and they make a 32x11.5x15 which is 31.5" [ you can go to KENDA websight and get the specs on this tire]

9/32" usually. R compound tires come with6/32". When in doubt go to the manufacturers website for the official number. Tirerack is also a great source for information.

I went and looked at the tire/rim and it shows tire 40-559, 26 x 1.5 and rim 559 x 20 and PSI 40 to 65. This may be more than you want to know but just thought I would put what the tire here showed.

Because tire sizing isn't as simple as matching nominal sizes. Look at the sidewall of one of your old tires for the ETRTO code. You'll see a lot of information stamped there, in various sizes, but the ETRTO code will be there somewhere. It will look something like 52-559. Your actual numbers will probably be different, but the code will be a two-digit number, a hyphen and a 3-digit number. The two-digit number is the width of the tire, and the three-digit number is the diameter of the bead seat. Both measurements are given in millimeters. The more important of the two numbers is the three-digit one, which is the diameter of the bead seat. A bicycle wheel can accommodate a fairly wide range of tire widths, but only one bead seat diameter will fit properly. Now look at the ETRTO code of one of the new tires you bought. More likely than not, you'll see that the bead seat diameter number doesn't match the one on your old tire, which means you bought the wrong size, and my suggestion would be to try to return the tires that don't fit and shop for another pair, this time using the ETRTO size of your old tires as a guide. On the off chance that the bead seat diameter numbers do match, that would mean that one set of tires somehow got mislabeled. In that case, you probably won't have any simple way to determin which set it was, and my suggestion would be to take your bicycle to a bike shop, where the pros should be able to solve the tire size mystery for you very quickly.
