Tire size on WalManta Ray?

[clerkkent]

I've been trying to find out the tire sizes for the Manta Ray that came out last decade in department stores. I'm assuming the rear one is the 20x4.25 that Schwinn aka Pacific Cycle used on everything else, but I can find any info on the front wheel.

Thanks!

I believe it would be the same as the Stingray chopper.

The front is 16" x 3" It is the same tire used on the rear of the baby OCC Schwinn choppers.

Looking at pics with a google image search, the front wheel looks like the rear wheels of the baby OCC choppers. Probably a 16x3 tire. The rear is definitely the same as the big OCC's 20x4.

Let me know if you need one of those 16x3 tires....

thanks for the info. There is a manta ray for sale on CL that isn't being marketed right, and ' needs new tubes'. It appeared that the front needed special tubes, and now that I know they use the stingray parts bin for it, that makes it easier to source tires and tubes.
