Tire Sizing

[SCUMM]

Could anyone help me determine what rim size this tire would need,

I am currently running a 28" on what is (I believe to be) a Raleigh tourist. If I were to use the BFG tires on a smaller rim do you think it would look out of place on the bike or would the added height from the tire fill in the space nicely. Anything is appreciated. Thanks.

*With all the arbitrary methods used for bicycle tire and wheel sizing I am nervous about buying the wrong size rim*

My guess that is a 26 inch tire. I have never seen those red in any other size.

I was also considering a schwabble cream colored tire in a 28". Anyone have an opinion on these tires?

any thing Schwalbe is great. They are high quality and stylish.

Schwalbe makes great tires. Just remember if you buy a cream colored tire, or anything other than black, it's going to pick up a little road dirt and discoloration. Personally, I think it looks even better that way and it gives them a lot of character, but some people want the "new" look.
