In partnership with Schwalbe Tires, a simple understanding of tire sizes.

What size tire does your bike have?

There are ways to get really deep and technical, but most of us, we are looking for simple information to easily understand.

In short, the size of your bike's tires will be written on the sidewall of your tire. In one of a few different ways, the numbers written here will tell you what size tire you have.

If you're looking to find a direct replacement, just search online or ask your local bike shop if they have tires in that size.

If you're looking to get smaller or larger tires, be sure to check whether or not they will fit your bike frame (or fenders if you have them) and if your rim is wide enough.

Stay tuned for episode 2 of this short series about tires to see how different tread patterns can affect the performance and comfort of your bike.
