what size are the tires? I would like a wider tire like a mountain bike but a road pattern

These are not mountain bike tires. They are thinner than mountain bike tires which make them wonderful and much faster on paved roads which I love. They are thicker than the ten speed racing bikes but rides much better with better cushion on paved roads. Kenda tires.

On the bike I got, the tires were an issue. They are 700 X 37 or close to that. The tread is thin and prone to flats. I had 2 from thorns on the same trip. Bought tire liners and thorn resistant tubes which have helped. Definitely not mountain bike tires.

in between mountain bike and regular tires. The bike is a pos though. I already returned it and went to a real bike store. Save yourself some aggravation, go to a real bike shop.

I bought Schwalbe hs404 puncture-proof 700x40 tires from Niagara Cycle. 45.00 bucks each, a reflective silver sidewall and a more aggressive tread. Schwalbe 700x40 tubes, AV17 for Schrader valves, 20.00. Both on Amazon. both 5 star products.

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 sidewall of the tire lists the size as 700x38C. I measured with a tape measure, and from side to side they measure approx. 1.5 inches (3.8cm). These tires have worked well so far on paved surfaces (asphalt and concrete) and hard-packed surfaces (cinder and dirt). I haven't taken the bike off-roading, and probably wouldn't recommend it due to the narrow tire width and shallow tread depth; however, for paved/packed-surface bike trails and street/sidewalk riding, they're perfect. I hope this helps. Good luck.

They seem to be about the same width as my rims. These are long distance tires -10 speed type. They aren't like the fat cruiser tires.

I installed a pair of these 26x1.75 tires on my 26 inch comfort/commuter bike. Installed and inflated, the widest part of the tire measures 48mm or 1.88 inches wide. That was a surprise because Continental tires have a reputation for being narrower than the label width.

What I ordered was a set. Front tire is 700x22 and rear 700x24. Great traction. Good luck!

The Midmoor has tires that are a little over 1" wide. In my opinion too narrow for roads not paved or packed very hard. I would recommend a mountain bike.

ISO, the International Organization for Standardization long ago developed a universal tire sizing system that eliminates wheel & tire size confusion. But that does not stop inventive marketing A 27x1-1/4 is a 630 mm tire used on most older 10 speed bicycles in the 1980 and before. A 700x38 is a 622 mm tire that is wide, most sports styled bicycles since 1980 use a 700x23/25 tire size. &lt;--recent marketing term 29er is for wider tires fitted to 622 rims, sometimes marked with a French Size 28 A 650c Triathlon, time trial, and small road bikes is 571 mm. A 650B tire is a French size being revived - 584 mm &lt;--using long reach brakes these are are being put on hybrids & sports style bicycles that do not offer the room for tires wider than 25, nor any room for fenders. If your old tire is labeled 27x1-1/8 or 27x1-1/4 you have a 630 rim and need that size tire, Get the 1-1/8 if you are a light weight rider, or the 1-1/4 diameter if heavier, also it has more air volume for softer ride.

They fit my mountain bike but not very well since the fender wasn't wide or high enough for my tire. They may fit better one road bike but I think they are made for hybrids.

The tire I got was 20 x 1.75. (That is 20" diameter & 1.75 inches wide)It was an exact replacement for the one I needed. Most 20" bikes will use tires from 1.75" to 2.50" width. Hand brakes may need adjusting for width of tire.

Hi Glenda, as long as your bike is a mountain bike and that you choose the right size, it should fit. These tires won't fit the road bikes.

Yes, they will fit. These will NOT work as well off road as the knobby mountain bike tires that came on your bike, they are strictly tires meant for the road, paved trails, hard surfaces. They have, as the name implies, almost no tread(slick). I wonder, since you bought a mountain bike, why you would want a road bike tire? If you are riding only on the road, street, or pavement, why did you buy a mountain bike? I am confused.

Not sure what you mean by do they fit 700 x 23s. These tires fit 700 rims and you can usually get them in widths of 23 or 25. That is typically the size used on road bikes. I have them and they are great on pavement. Light weight, good protection against punctures, and good traction in wet conditions. They are too narrow for gravel in most cases.

They seem more of a road tire. I'm sure they'll work, but not as aggressive or thick as a mtn bike tire.

These are for Mt. Bikes road bikes use 130mm rear and 100mm front: Mt. Bikes use 135mm rear and 100mm front. These would be too long and stick out oddle on a road bike frame

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
