Whats the widest tire this bike can use?

No sure. I have not install anything besides what came on it. The wheels are road wheels. So you would have to replace tire and wheel. I you are wanting a wider tire. This bike is built like a road bike. The only thing that makes it a hybrid is the straight handle bar.

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

I just checked my tires. There is not an 'o' in the listing. The size is 26x2.125. These tires require a higher psi inflation to overcome the added resistance that so much heavy tread on the pavement creates. As for durability, I have no doubt. But the tire when inflated in enough larger than the originals I've had to remove the fenders, both front and back. Whether it is the tire for your bike, or not, you'll have to decide.

I would say that if you wear a wide is street shoes... get a wide in a road bike shoe. The part number would be SH-R088W (you can find it on zappos.com)

My thoughts are that some forks are built narrow and wide so the tire can be inflated to both widths. 1.75w or 2.125 w

I do not have this exact tire in that size, but I do have a 700X42 tstudded tire that will fit here; http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_139448_-1___ Regards, Thom in Tech

Most 700c tires will work. The rim is a bit wide, so a narrow tire like a 20/23 might not be the best combination with this wheel. I use mine for a single speed cyclocross bike. The rim is drilled for schraeder valve.

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.

It's a 700c/29er tire. It's the same diameter rim, so you can use a 700x28-35mm tube with this tire. 29'er refers to the overall diameter once the tire is on the wheel.

I had put ~1700 miles on the stock tires before they badly needed replacing. I replaced them with 700x23C Continental tires. I forgot which type but they have been the best tires I've had. As for tubes I just get 700x23C presta with 48mm stem

Michael, The Amazon compatibility guide is not always accurate. It looks for the exact OEM specification and does not know that you can sometimes use wider/taller tires. If you're currently using this tire it will obviously work. Thank you, BWT

Yes. In fact the rims are rather narrow (19mm) for the fat tires that come with the bike. Quoting Sheldon Brown: "A general guideline is that the tire width should be between 1.45/2.0 x the inner rim width." The inner rim width of the wheels on this bike are 13mm, so 700x23 should be good, where 700x32 is really pushing it!

I have skinny 23mm road tyres on mine but on my 700mm wheels the tyre clearance looks around 40mm max width. I think any road or commuter tyre should fit. Hope this helps.

I no longer have the wheel, since it was for a flip bike. As I recall, it wasn't "overly" wide. I'd just get a rubber strip and trim the sides if necessary if too wide.

The Kenda K838,26" x 2.125 is the best tire for the price, But is dose work better with a wider rim 34mm for the frt. and 39mm for the rear.Alex MTB 24 and 32 is what I run. You can but them from ebikesf.com or from some other dealer.

Max tire width depends on your rims and your tube. There are a number of charts out there that I find a little confusing that will tell you widths your rims will support. If in real doubt talk to your local bike shop (though they can also be a little confusing). I went with the 2 inch version because I used them on a hard tail mountain bike and was replacing ~2 inch off road tires so I knew they'd work, now I'm on 1.85 inch tires just because one of these blew and I needed a replacement.

Most tires have two dimensions: width and circumference. These rims accept a 700c circumference tire. These rims will accept a range of tire widths from 23mm to 32mm. The width range comes from ERTRO guidelines. The guidelines are just that, and you may be able to safely mount a tire outside of the width range implied by the width of the rim. The circumference is not negotiable. Do not mount a 27" tire on these, only 700c.Source: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html RIP
