I don't think Sheldon got a chance to update that chart before he passed. Fortunately, it's still the same "standard": a 20 x x.xx" tire will fit the 406mm bead seat diameter rim. 20 x 1.35", 20 x 1.25" (I have one of these), 20 x 1.125", and 20 x 1.10" will all fit that rim.

(The wild card is the Continental Grand Prix. Continental calls it a 20 x 1 1/8", but it also fits a 406mm BSD rim. Usually fractional sizes are used on the larger 451mm rims. Grrr...)
