Tire Question

SCHWINNRAY69 · Nov 3, 2010

On my Firestone, I have Schwinn wheels. I'm not sure if they are S-7 though. Do I need Schwinn S-7 tires to fit on it :?: Right now I have Carlisle tires on it so I would guess no :roll: I just want to know before I order tires :wink: Here's what I am looking at http://www.amazon.com/26X1-75-ACTIO...2EYY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1286235054&sr=8-3 and http://www.amazon.com/26x1-3-45-571...1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288824094&sr=8-1-fkmr1
Which one would fit :?: This is kind of a stupid question, but I rather not waste my money on something that won't fit

Don't know if Carlisle made any 1 3/4" tires, are they marked? 1.75" is NOT interchangeable with 1 3/4".

You can tell if they are S7s by checking the tire size that is on them now. 26x1 3/4 are S7, if they are 26x1.75 or 2.125 then they are standard size. The rim will be stamped along the spoke holes with "SCHWINN S7" if that is indeed what they are.

Don't read unless you want to be confused further.

I have read about and run across tires meant for a Schwinn S7 rim but marked 1.75. I can't recall the brand but there is one down at the bike coop right now. It reads Fits Scwhinn S7, 26" x 1.75"
