Looking down on the mounted tire, what is the width of the tire?They told me that 28 is the height. Is this correct?

They come in various sizes. The first number is the diameter, and the second number represents tire width, expressed in inches or millimeters.

If you're worried about it fitting in a "narrow" fork opening, Don't worry.These tires are really more like a 26. They are smaller than any 28 I've had before.

Look at your current tire and get the numbers off it and then match it up to the tire you are looking at. ie: 26 x 2.175. 26 means it is a 26 inch tire. You do not want to buy a 28 inch tire for a 26 inch rim. Then match the 2.125, 2.175 etc and you will hav a perfect match. hope this helped

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

Most tires have two dimensions: width and circumference. These rims accept a 700c circumference tire. These rims will accept a range of tire widths from 23mm to 32mm. The width range comes from ERTRO guidelines. The guidelines are just that, and you may be able to safely mount a tire outside of the width range implied by the width of the rim. The circumference is not negotiable. Do not mount a 27" tire on these, only 700c.Source: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html RIP

The Width of the Tire in Metric. 700x35 Means the tire is 700mm (28. 375") Tall and 35mm (1.375") Wide. This link helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

Yes the 28 is what we call a 29er wheel. and they are great tires, I love them.

It is kind of hard to measure, since it bunches up all the way around, but I think it's a 29.5 diameter. (Could be off by 1/4 to 1/2 inch) Anyway, the RAV wheel/tire is SMALLER, and it looks very sloppy.

If the question is would it fit a 28 inch I am not sure,I think the tube might stretch, it is a very thick tube. And probably would not need to stretch very much.I would think it would definitely fit in a 700x32, I have 700x28s.I like, one of the other answers, had to start over and stuff it into the tire. But the end result was it worked perfectly.

Pulled right from Salsa's Website:Generous Tire ClearanceFits 29 x 2.3" tire w/ ample mud clearance, 29 x 2.1" with fendersShort answer: YesP.S. If you're worried about the 28" vs 29", that's just outer tire diameter. The Bead diameter will still be 622mm, so you're good there too.

I googled this and based on the following, it should fit. 700 is the size of the wheel and tire which the tube is intended to fit. In this case, 700 means 700c, or ISO diameter 622mm rims. If you are unfamiliar with tire sizes, take a look here.28/32 designates the min/max range of width of the tire which the tube is intended to fit, in mm. So in your case, your tubes are designed to fit tires of width 28mm (minimum) to 32mm (maximum). This range should correspond to the width of your rim as well.

I went and looked at the tire/rim and it shows tire 40-559, 26 x 1.5 and rim 559 x 20 and PSI 40 to 65. This may be more than you want to know but just thought I would put what the tire here showed.

Adina, on the site "700 x 25-28 (27 x 1-1/8-1-1/4) 32mm PRESTA" the 25mm that you are in question is the width of the tube (tire rim) ; (range 25-28 that translates to 1-7/8 - 1-1/4). this is an update to my previous response.

4.8/4.0-8 apparently means a tire that is 4.8" high, 4.0" wide on an 8" wheel. Those are the markings on my wheelbarrow tire as well. Everything I'm finding indicates that is a 16" or so tire, not 13" like this one. There are other no-flat tires listed on Amazon that explicitly say they replace a 4.8/4.0-8 tire.

I have had trouble in the past with getting the tires to fit a small rim....they are wide. I would encourage trying it out at a bike shop first before ordering them. I was able to get them on my bike but mine were 700x28c. That is the smallest I think i would go. They were somewhat difficult to fit....and barely did at that!

Probably not. I was just tire shopping this weekend, looking for something a little wider for the Minneapolis winter, and the person at the shop thought that 700x32 was the upper limit of what these could reasonably fit. I went with 28s. They seem to be made with the 23-25 range in mind, but the 28s seem to be working fine.

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 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.
