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.

I believe the tire size 700c. Gonna have to head to a bike shop. Don't think the average walmart will carry it.

Can't say without seeing your bike. Look where the front tire goes through the fork and where the rear runs between the chainstays and under the brake bridge--that's where they'll hit if they're going to. I put them on an old (mid-'80s) touring bike that was designed for big tires, but many newer ones won't accept tires bigger than about 28mm. Your 23s are probably less than an inch wide (25.4mm=1 inch), and these are probably 1.3 or so (too cold to go out and measure).

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!

first, make sure you don't have 26 inch tires, like a mountain bike - because 700x26 is kind of an odd width. i'm sure it exists, but it's not that common. if you really do have 700c wheels, then there's a couple things you need to consider.1. is there any room in the frame for a wider tire? stick your nose down there and see how much clearance you already have.2. is there room for fenders, if you need them? this may not matter.if it fits in the frame, there's no reason you can't go wider. i've done it. if you have calipers or v-brakes, make sure you open them correctly to allow the installation of the tire. good luck. this is a good tire, in my opinion, for the money. first, make sure you don't have 26 inch tires, like a mountain bike - because 700x26 is kind of an odd width. i'm sure it exists, but it's not that common. if you really do have 700c wheels, then there's a couple things you need to consider.1. is there any room in the frame for a wider tire? stick your nose down there and see how much clearance you already have.2. is there room for fenders, if you need them? this may not matter.if it fits in the frame, there's no reason you can't go wider. i've done it. if you have calipers or v-brakes, make sure you open them... » Read More first, make sure you don't have 26 inch tires, like a mountain bike - because 700x26 is kind of an odd width. i'm sure it exists, but it's not that common. if you really do have 700c wheels, then there's a couple things you need to consider.1. is there any room in the frame for a wider tire? stick your nose down there and see how much clearance you already have.2. is there room for fenders, if you need them? this may not matter.if it fits in the frame, there's no reason you can't go wider. i've done it. if you have calipers or v-brakes, make sure you open them correctly to allow the installation of the tire. good luck. this is a good tire, in my opinion, for the money. « Show Less

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)

you need to go to www.planetbike and look at their size chart. You can also call them and they will be glad to help. They go by size and tire width.

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

First, look at your tires and determine their width. The size is marked on the tires. If the width is not over 35mm, the 45mm fenders should work for you. --- You can also call Planet Bike. They are very helpful.

Yes, actually the tires are very wide. Good for cross country. Not Good for speeding,....Shifting is done with the handles! Hope That helped, great bike

That's a wide tire. I measured the part that makes contact with the back tire and it was 3.25 inches. So yes.

I am using Schwalbe 27x1 1/4 tires. It is perfect for the application I use my bike.

As long as they match the diameter of the rim. 26" tire = 26" rim. Check your old tire on the sidewall for the width of the tire. These are 2.10 inches wide, so they should fit any bike. If you are looking for something wider, check to make sure the wider tire won't rub against the swing arm.

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.

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.

The fender width is 60mm (~2.4 inches). Check the spacing between any posts they will have to pass through. If there is enough clearance these will work with the narrower tires.

The wheel is 700 x 25. You want tubes that are 700 x 25. Usually tubes will come in ranges. Most common range is 700x18-23 and 700x20-25. Both will actually fit the tire as tubes expand easily. If you do decide to use 700x18-23, go 10 less than the maximum PSI on the tires. If you go 700x20-25, you're can just fill it up to the maximum PSI.This bike does not require the valee to be a schrader valve. Presta works as well. I have prestas on mine as they are easier to work with when you need to deflate for quick changes.
