I just replaced 26 x 2.1 tires with these, if that is what you mean? No problems.

I also swapped out a pair of Kenda 26 X 2.1 Knobby Tires that came with the Mountain bike (Diamondback Response) with these. No problems.Since I'm mainly doing asphalt or hard road riding, it's good to get some street tires. You can really feel the difference.

Check the width of your rim. It's usually a good idea to go with what size came off unless you know what width you can run.

My understanding is that these are ERTRO 584 mm tires. ERTRO is the European Tyre and Rim Technical Oragnization - seriously, not making this up. Anyway, the 584 mm corresponds to a 650b tire and should fit 27.5" rims. Whoever listed these tires could have done a better job. Checking the Continental website provides some help.

It's a function of rim width. My wheel is 26" x 1.125". The tires I replaced were oversized at 2.10" wide and even they fit on the 1.125" rim without a problem. If you're replacing a 1.90" tire with a 1.95 you won't have a problem at all.

The width of the rim isn't part of the 26 x 1.5 description. The caliper measurement of the outside width of my rim is 1" or 25.96mm. I have a 26 x 1.95 tire mounted on my rim. This paper helps explain bike wheel sizing. http://hostelshoppe.com/PDF/tire_sizing.pdf Here is the link to Sta-Tru's product guide. The FWS2615AA wheel is listed 3rd page. http://www.statruwheels.com/PDFs/REPLACEMENT.pdf

If you scroll down the page there is more info:"rims: pinned 26mm alloy/ medium-V MTB/ CNC machined".I do use 1.5 inch tires on it.

Do you plan on just putting them on the back? they have another tire setup that is more of the same size as stock tires but same tread as the badlands. I have 2 Slash's and would recommend the smaller size then the badlands. And they work great too... but the badlands will work.

Well these tires were designed to fit a 26 x 1.75 rim, not sure what would happen in a fat bike rim, may seat the bead well with tire beads so wide in that rim. But I would recommend the Surly Floyd of Origin8 has a good pavement 26 x 3.5 tire for fat bikes. The guy who posted earlier I don't think he knew you were talking about a fat bike, as his is a MTB.

I have the 700x23 and they are just at 23mm, I guess it also depends on how accurate your measurements are and on or off the rim...great tire though, handles the gravel that gets on the back roads and has been wearing very well...

Told me the same thing. If it's similar to my truck, that year come out with 16 and 20 inch tires. My truck originally come out with 16s and the previous owner put the would inch rims on it. Bought these tires. Good tires so far. No complaints.

I do not believe they will fit because they have an ISO diameter of 559. 650B tires have an ISO diameter of 584.To be sure and to save you some trouble with shipping, try any 26" tire from a big box store such as Wally World. Return it when you've confirmed fit or no fit. BTW, I still love these Kwest Tires. 800 miles and still going strong.

They would be 2" larger overall diameter and I would not recommend it. If you are wanting a wider tire, I'd recommend a 265/60R17, it would keep the same diameter without effecting your diameter and speed sensors.

You need a 27 x 1 1/4 not a 700c like these. These tires won't fit your rim at all. The rest doesn't matter because they won't fit in the first place..

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.

Hey Joel- The size I bought was 31.5" or so, across from the center of the wheel (tread to tread) just use a tape measure or yard stick. the tires were 7:50 X 16 this crosses with a 235 X 85 R 16-- they are darn near the same! a 255 is a little fatter/wider/lower and a 70 series is less tire, rim to tread but the wheel is 2" taller to start with so it is best to just measure it yourself as there are many sizes of tire covers. just keep going down the lists until you find your size. hope this helps. Linseed oil also helps the rubber if it sits all winter. (the tires I have is what is best in snow) Nick W.

Hi Joseph. I originally bought the 9800500 size chains to use on my PT Cruiser, which has 205-55x16 tires. (A little shorter and wider than yours but pretty similar.) They were really, REALLY tight and a pain in the ass to put on. I recently bought a new set and went one size larger, I think they're 9800600. They are much easier to put on and still fit nice and snug. If I need to replace them again that's what I'll get. And another word of advice for you - I find that these chains work well but you want to be careful to always avoid spinning the wheels. I was trying to climb a steep hill in very icy conditions that were just too much for the chains to cope with. The wheels spun, the car slipped sideways just a few feet and that caused the chain on one wheel to slide off to the inside of the wheel. It got torn up on the suspension, no damage to the car but that's why I bought the new set. Obviously, I like them enough to buy a new set but I'll be more careful with them now and I'd recommend everyone else should be too. Tom

There is "NO" rim included, it is just the tire and if you are looking for a true 26 X 2.1 tire then look somewhere else. This tire measures like a 1.95 tire and when I contacted Kenda, Eric told me that's the way it is supposed to be and included a chart and insinuated that you need to be an Engineer to understand it, thankfully they're not the only tire manufacturer because I will never buy another Kenda tire. Sorry for a long winded answer for a simple question but I feel people should know what they're buying.
