Wheel tire combo help

[tyler perk]

Im looking at a 26" x 2.25 wheel and 26"x2.35" tire. Will this combo mount properly? Im new to the wider rim scene

Should not be an issue.
I have run 3" tires on 1.25" rims and 2" tires on 3" rims...

You can get away with a lot width wise, it is really the effective rim diameter (ERD) that matters.

Should be fine. For rim/tire combinations the important # is the bead diameter. It will be marked on the tire. 559 is most common for 26" x X.XX", but not the same for 26 x X/XX.

I'd use wider inner tubes. The universal 26x1.75 get stretched pretty thin. Yeah the 2.125+ tubes are more $$ but they don't leak out as fast.

I agree. I NEVER use 1.75 tubes unless I have middle weight tires. For anything else I use the 2.125 tubes, sometimes 1.95-2.125 if it is all I have on hand.

When I first put my $20 Schwinn Cruiser Four back into service, I was running the tires and tubes that came with it. One evening ( by a mosquito infested swamp) back tire goes swish swish and deflates. My wife was with me, and she rode home to fetch our pickup - so I only had to walk a couple of miles... When I pulled the tire off someone put an 1 1/4" tube in the 2.125 tire!
