The tire on my Schwinn says 40-622 / 700x38c. Will the Comfort/Hybrid be a good replacement? Or am I looking at the wrong numbers?

That's the correct number. 700x38c is the tire size. I like these tires on my Schwinn Avenue hybrid. Very nice and they have worn well.

The furst numbers before the size must be the model no. The 700 refers to the metric diameter and the 38 refers to the tire width. These are a wider than average tire but not as wide as those balloon tires you see on cruisers. I really like these tires for their width. Good for touring or even some trails. They are kevlar lined which will help against flats. So if 700 38 is the size you need these will work just fine.

Stephen, sorry but I am not sure about your model, so do not want to give you misleading information. I recommend you consult who has more expertise on bikes. If you don't know anyone personally, I would recommend you consult a bike shop professional or call and ask Schwinn or the replacement tire company. One of them will be able to give you accurate info.

Yeah it's the right measurements, it has excellent comfort and will make a great replacement

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.

I believe your bike takes a 120/70-17 and 180/55-17. Stick with the tires recommend for the bike and these will fit.

if the sidewall on your old tires say 26" x 1 3/8" then yes. sizes for these middle/lightweight bikes were tricky as they use 3 or 4 26' size wheel and tire combos. I have a Schwinn, but it has MOCO or Murray rims, looks original but on a 50yr bike who knows. Good Luck...Mo

If your Schwinn Meridian Adult Trike has 26" x 2.0" , then, maybe, NO. The Schwinn Comfort Tire size is a 26 x 1.95-inch which is a hair smaller. I would go with a tire that is closer to the 2.0" or maybe a 2.125". Here is a good puncture resistant tire but more expensive...Tire Bicycle, street 26 X 2 Inch Puncture Resistant, Puncture Guard, thorn resistant, Comfortable ride by Biria, hybrid bike tread tire , By Biria

yes 24mm is the width. according to http://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html, you'd probably want a 44 to 54 tire. this would be more like a hybrid than a road bike tire.

YES. My Schwinn hybrid came with these OEM and I have seen them online for aftermarket. Dont know about Amazon. Mine were silver spokes which I think look better than black. Look for Schwinn Discover and you will see these wheels in 700c size.

The 26X1.9 refers to the 26 X 1.9 inch version. However I am sure this tire is of the mountain-bike variety. I own this tire in the 700X19mm tubular, and the aforementioned 26X1.9 inch is not in the same category, nor price range. I would call a high end bike shop and, or go to one in person, at least for a look over, as to get a genuine reference as to what you want. You would hate to be disappointed at getting a fat tire for your racing machine. Good luck, and take care....

Hello,Yes your tire size is the right size. However if your bike does not have a quick release rear tire it will not fit the trainer. Thank you.

The 26x2.10 would definetlty look alot skinnier than what your original tires on your bikel ook like now. I know because theses Kendas are the same size as the tire on my bike and they look thinner. They are great tires all around but I would reccoment that you try to find a bigger tire for your bike.

I agree with the previous answer. My original tire was 26x2.0 and I've had no problems. I believe there's a fitting guide on Shrldon Brown's website for additional reference.

I have a Schwinn Cruiser 6. It's a full size Schwinn and the tires fit great. I hope this helps.

I would like to help, would if I could, but I don't think you could depend (i.e. bet) on my answer. My bike is 700 mm (which I think equates to 27"), the tires I bought were 700 X 38 mm (38 mm is equivalent to 1½", 35 mm = 1-3/8"). My guess is that the 700 X 32 mm would fit, but, a just a semi-educated guess.

Here's some info on Schwinn bike rims: ~ 26" Skinny wheel Schwinns, Racer, Breeze, Collegiate, etc Schwinn Lightweights like the Breeze, Racer, and Collegiate used S-5 or S-6 rims, and are most often found in the 26" wheel size. (S-5 and S-6 26" rims are the same size, just the cosmetics are different.) These came with Schwinn-specific 26" x 1 3/8" tires with a Bead Seat Diameter (BSD) of 597mm. Non-Schwinn skinny wheel 26" bikes use a similar-looking but physically smaller wheel that takes a 590mm BSD tire. That 7mm makes all the difference between a tire that fits and a tire that doesn't. (It should be noted that lugged frame imported Schwinn "Collegiates" from the 80s used a standard non-Schwinn sized tire.) Kenda makes tires to fit the 26" S-5 / S-6 rims, available in blackwall or gumwall. (I recommend blackwall, much more durable.) http://www.greenephantom.com/schwinn_faq

Virginia, look on your bicycle rim (the big round metal part of the wheel) and the size should be printed on there. If it reads 700 mm, than these are the tires you want. Also, buy tires in pairs and replace them both, keeping the better of the 2 as a emergency spare. You'll want to purchase inner tubes as well. The normal RANGE in size would be 700 X 28-32. This means 700 mm in circumference and 28-32 mm in girth. You can reuse the old one, but always have 2 on hand, and replace the innertube should it (or they) be brittle and have a cracking appearance. Here is an eBay link to quality inner tubes, at an affordable price. ~ http://www.ebay.com/itm/371171729433? ~ Also, you can go to Youtube for tutorials.

I'm not familiar with the Schwinn. The main concern regards to how tall you are. If you are taller than 1,75 meters, I would not recommend.
