Cycling Tires

About Cycling Tires

Your frame decides what fits. Wheel diameter is locked to your rim, and width is capped by your frame and fork clearance. Check your bike’s spec sheet or max tire clearance before shopping.

How to Use the Tire Filter

Our filter uses two fields: Tire Height and Tire Width.

Tire Height = Wheel Diameter. Numbers like 26, 27.5, and 29 (or 650B/700C) are wheel sizes, not sidewall height. Match this to your rim first.
Tire Width = The actual tire width in inches. Narrow widths are fast and light. Wider ones grip harder.

Popular Tire Heights

29 – The modern standard for trail, XC, and enduro.
27.5 – Still common for aggressive trail and mullet setups.
26 – Older bikes and dirt jumpers.
