My tire size is 700x25cc should I get the 20-25 or 25-32cc?

Here is the long answer that should tell you everything you need to know about tubes and tires. First off, let's decode some of the numbers. 700C or 29" are both the rim size ISO 622 (that is 622mm in diameter where the bead of the tire seats on the rim). When you're looking at road tires, they're more likely to say 700C (from an old French system of naming tire/rim sizes) and when you're looking at mountain tires, they're more likely to say 29". Occasionally, some European tires, especially Continental, will try to confuse the matter by calling them 28" - but look fir the 622 to be sure of the size. 23/25 or 18-23 on a tube indicate a range of tire widths with which the tube is compatible. Since an 18mm wide tire has a much smaller cross section than a 25mm tire (just imagine those as the diameter of a circle), a tube designed to fit a 25mm tire can be much too big for an 18mm tire. In that case you'd risk getting the tube folded on iteself or pinched under the tire's bead - both of which can cause a flat. So, when selecting a tube, you should get the narrowest range that will fit. If you had a 23mm wide tire, 18/23 would be a better choice than 23/25, though both will be better than a 28/32, for example. The 48 or 42 mm length listed below is the length of the presta stem. Different manufacturers measure stems differently, so it's hard to get an accurate comparison, but a 32 will be shorter than a 42 will be shorter than a 60 and so on. You just need 12-15mm of stem to stick beyond the rim so you can get a pump onto it, though, for some people, a little extra length isn't a bother. If you've got a deep rim, you'll need a longer valve stem. But if the 48mm stick through with plenty of extra, a 42 is a safe choice. ORDER ROAD RACE TUBE. Thus is your present tire is a 25, I would get the 20-25 tube, less chance of the tube folding over or pinching it because it is too big. Hope all of this information is useful in the future.

Hello Vince, to be honest with you either tube will work, but I would personally go with a smaller tube because they are just easier to install on the fly...

Depends on tire or clearance on bike. Being honest with you, one of the stems in the tubes was messed up, would not mail order again....sorry.

I use Conti 4000S 700 x 25 tires and use a Conti Race 28 tube. No flats in 3200 miles.

I think I would get the smaller tube because it will be easier to change. Just a thought.

The 23s are thinner, lighter (because they are thinner), and a little faster. 25s are 2mm greater in diameter, so they are a little heavier and better on rough roads. I have the 25s for training and 23s for racing. These are great tires if you don't like flats. Probably not the fastest tire around, but for me they are fine.

Yes, I believe you can. The description of the item says they "Fit Tire Size: 700c x 23c to 32c". The the only problem I would have said you would have run into is the clearance for the brakes using the larger tire, but because your bike is already using the 28c's you should be okay. I used these tires all last year and loved them. For the price they are really nice. Just make sure you are using a tube with a longer valve stem. The smaller valve stems will not make it all the way through. Have Fun Riding!

One sized for a 32" tire should work just fine. BTW, the numbers and letters in 31x10.50R 15LT refer to tire diameter x width(Radial) and wheel size(Light Truck).

(DISCLAIMER: I am no tire expert) I don't believe the tire size (650mm, as measured by you) directly correlates to the 650c (or 700c) designation. If your rim says 700c, then get the 700 x 23. BTW, the size is also imprinted on the tire sidewall.

If your current tire is 700x32 and this tire is described as 700x32 it will replace the tire you have. Just make sure it's the type of tread you want. it's primarily for street and gravel trails.

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 would definitely go with the larger size, a little extra vinyl should be ok, and the cover will be slightly wider to cover the width of the tire better.

I purchased a pair of 26" tires. That is what was specified and that is what I received. You should have no problem.

The tires fit good on 250/50-10 rims. Note that I have two left over from my purchase that I need to get rid of.

Tire size (apart from brakes) is also different according to the description. This one uses 700x25c and the other uses 700x28c

700x23c for same size... 700cx25 or 700x28c for a better ride... i like the conti gp4000s

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.

mine said 700c x 25 and my tire was 700c x 25 and the tube was much larger than 700c. Im not sure about the 25-32mm we never got that far,it was much larger than the wheel.

No. The 700 X 40c is for a tire that is closer to 29" than 25, or 26 as I imagine you mis-typed.
1226868
The 26 is fine but the 2.5 might be too big. We have 2.0 tires and they are a tight fit.

I think it comes in different sizes. 26" is usually a fatter tire. I think this is mostly for the 700c. I purchased the 700c for 25mm tires.
