my tires size

Question
Hi

I have exactly 0.5" clearance in the front fork with existing tire 26" x 2.10".

The back is same clearance with 1.95" existing tire.

Can I go with 2.20" ?   I do not race, ride on mud rain etc.

Thanks,  Gabe

Answer
Dear Gabe,

Thanks for asking me this nice question. In theory it must be hard to mount these tiresizes bigger than 2.10's with that limited clearance (depending of your tirepressure).
But also there is no worldwide standard in sizing from producers/brands, so that for some sizes like 1.95 is smaller or wider than other models.
From here I can't tell you that those will fit.
So, try those 2.20's is the most reliable test to see if they fit on your bike.

Good luck, and let me know if it works out.

Thanks and good luck!

Mick
