Tires for these bikes are not easy to find. You will have to find a shop that supports vintage bikes. THat leaves out shops like Performance or other chains. I just replaced a tire on my Raleigh Sport with a Kenda gumwall. The numbers on the side of the tire are: 37-590 26X 1 3/8
NOTE: MOUNTAIN BIKE, 26inch TIRES WILL NOT FIT THE RIMS ON THESE BIKES. PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FORCE ONE ON.
I'm going to the bike shop tomorrow to purchase another tire. If you would like the address and phone number of the All Star bike shop in Cary, NC, I'll be glad to provide it if you need to have these tires shipped.
