How to Measure Mountain Bike Tires: A Beginner’s Guide
To measure mountain bike tires, you need to take note of two numbers that are commonly located on the sidewall of the tire. The first number represents the tire’s width in millimeters, while the second number represents the wheel diameter in inches. For example, if the sidewall reads 26 x 2.2, the tire is 26 inches in diameter and 2.2 inches wide. It’s important to choose a tire size that fits your bike frame and wheel size for optimal performance and safety.
