Hybrid Bicycles - 700c x 38 tire to 700c x 35?

I have a Schwinn Avenue Hybrid with 700c x 38 tires. My rear tire has been giving be problems so I will need to replace it. I would like a smaller tire, is it worth changing to a 700c x 35 tire? Will this change requrie a different rim?

NO.. a) 622 is the number on the sidewall that is bead seat diameter 2nd
b) is the width, like 622-35.

so another 622 tire will be fine, [just not a 630.. aka 27"]

You can easily go down to a 28c if you desire.
I'd take the current front tire and put it on the rear and use the new "skinnier" tire up front.

I don't understand your 622 and 630 tires. As stated my tires are 700c by 38.

700C tires/wheels are 622 MM Bead Seat Diameter (BSD)
27" tires are a 630 MM BSD.

To be "correct", your tires are 700x35c, not 700cx35.
The would be marked on the sidewall as 622-35.

It REALLY doesn't matter! We know what we mean.

Thanks for the info.

Actually, to be "correct," the OP's tires are 700x35mm.

anyway, you can use any tire you please from 25mm to most likely ~42mm in width.
