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.

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

the tires are 10 1/2 " high & 3" wide! you will want to use your own sheet metal screws, as theirs are not suitable (made in china)

You don't need exact size just make sure it's a 18 inch tires a smaller tire and less width with give you better corners while a taller wider tire is open road

They are a 700c tire. They are closer to a 28 or 29 inch size but aren't meant for either

I put them on my kid's 24" BMX bike which had pretty fat tires which were about the same width as a mountain bike. There was plenty of room to spare when I installed them. I think they'll work fine.

No; as listed, they are 700x32. From what I've heard, Gatorskins are one of only a few roadbike tires that are offered in a 700x32.

I'm quite happy with the tires. If they were any wider,I would have to delete them a bit to get them past the brakes when removing the wheels. For this reason I felt they were as wide as one could buy without becoming an inconvenience. Enjoy!

They are 20x2.25...really tough, sturdy tires. Much better than the stock tires they replaced. My daughter will outgrow the bike before they'll need new tires again.

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.

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

The 1.5 size offered in this tire is fairly narrow, too small for some wider rims on beach cruisers (1.75-2.125); 1.75 is narrower than a typical mountain bike tire (1.9-2.0). It is odd that a tire would have two sizes 1.5 and 1.95 at the same time; usually that is reserved for other components (tubes, liners, rims) that fit a range of "different" tires. For example, I've seen a "Presta" Mountain Bike Tire Tube listed on eBay sized at 26x1.5/26x1.95, but those are tubes, not tires. Hope this helps.

This can depend on the type of bike. I'm assuming you're referring to that the wheel you purchased isn't fitting in between your bike frame. If you buy a mountain bike wheel, it may not necessarily fit on a street/speed bike or thin racing bikes. You can also fit various size tires on certain wheels. So while your tire can say 26x1.75, it may not be what was meant for the wheel. Easiest way to know what size wheel to get (beyond consulting your owners manual) is to measure and look for a wheel for your type of bike. (Also, keep in mind if you're looking for a standard wheel or one with a quick release set-up) What is disconcerting is tires can differ between manufacturers. (Check on your wheel and see if measurements are listed on it as well)

I went to the manufacturer's site and did not see any options to order tires. They do have a phone number and email address for ordering. You could probably check with them www.tipkemfg.com. However, the tires appear to be standard 20" bicycle tires which are available most anywhere.

Mountain x2.0 bike tires? I would not do that. My inner rim width on my hybrid is 16mm and that was pushing the limits on this tire's design - I would not put it on a larger frame. You CAN find stuff that size that doesn't have the crazy thick mountain bike knobbing.Rubena V99 City Hopper Bicycle Tire (Black, 28x2.0-Inch)
