Does anyone have sidewall info on this tire? I'm guessing 584mm but the I'd like to know the width before I order it.

As others have answered, this is actually a British tire size. In Bicycle land, 1.5 and 1 1/2 are not the same tire.If you have a US Bike, its over 90% likely this tire will not fit your bicycle. It absolutely will NOT fit a Mountain Bike.The price is exceptionally low (no demand) and there are many used ones because it will only work on a European bike that uses a very unusual rim size.

The rim diameter is 584 mm per my previous response to the question about the actual rim diameter and another more detailed response explaining the tire size differences.

I really don't know, but think they sent me a 406 which was too big for my standard rim. Go to their tire site and read the reviews, esp the negative ones.

if you look hard on the sidewall next to the rim you will find in small print the following.TREAD: 1 ply nylon, 2ply polyester, 2ply steelSIDEWALLL; 2ply polyester, you add them up you get 7ply, but you can't read that way. its TREAD 5ply...SIDEWALL 2ply. jpr 3/13/14

The sidewall of the 28mm tire is marked "80-110 psi". The 40mm tire is marked "50-85 psi".

While I am not a professional and if you call a tire place they should be able to tell you, but I know that P=Personal Vehicle (or somethign similar.) 205=tire width in millimeters, 55=Tire Aspect Ratio, or 55% from edge of rim to tires tread is 55% of 205, R=Radial 16=16" diameter (which is what these are) and finally 89 is load index of 89, and V I believe is like very high... something like 149mph rating for the tires. Long story short, the important factors are the 16 which is rim size, which this is 16 and then the tire width, from what I know the 205/55X16 tires typically go on 6.5" rims (stock for a lot of subies) and these rims, which I bought, handled 205/55X16 just fine. The .5" extra width simply lowers the total tire height, but barely at all. I recently purchased new tires and simply went up to a 7" wide tire. When you eventually replace your tires, I'd recomend the same

sorry it took so long, these tire rule. they say 35-80 so should take the load. they also have a nice ridged construction.

Go to BFG site find this tire in the size you need and see what the rating is.

The metric size of this tire is 49.53mm x 660.4mm . Not sure why you would want to reference this way ? Not international standard for a tire measurement of this size .

I have 285/70R17 on and it's fine with no spacers, cutting or rubbing. Looks great. http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-comparison/ should help you decide some changes (it will affect your spedo and other stuff unless you re-program the computer). I also considered a 255/80R17, which would fit too and is a bit taller, but didn't like any of the tires I could get.http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/threads/greenhorn-tire-question-2007-nbs-tall-and-skinny-or-fatter.151115/#post-618700 is a forum post by me with some pictures half way down with new and old sizes

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.

I put a straight edge across the back of the tire. Measured 4 1/4" to the wheel mounting face on the hub. Hope that answerers your question.

Adina, on the site "700 x 25-28 (27 x 1-1/8-1-1/4) 32mm PRESTA" the 25mm that you are in question is the width of the tube (tire rim) ; (range 25-28 that translates to 1-7/8 - 1-1/4). this is an update to my previous response.

Sorry Warren, all I can say is I ordered that tire for my 20" recumbent rim and it was too big. Not enough bike guy to know what a 406 rim is.

Bolt pattern and back spacing would be where you might have issues, 16" or 17" size will definitely work. I would suggest you contact a local tire retailer (Firestone,NTB,Goodyear) for further guidance.

Absolutely go to the SCC website. You can key in tire size and they'll tell you the proper chain

On the side of the tire you will see an exact size. it may be small but i'm sure its there. this tire is 18 x 2.125 ... the 2.125 is the important part
