Tyre compatibility

Please advise. I have tyres on my bike that read: 26 x 1.62 K154 that need replacing.

Would it be possible to replace them with 26 x 1.5 tyres since the original size doesn't seem to be available?

With thanks for your time. Anthony. :)

Nope. The difference between 1.62 and 1.5 is minimal. They will work fine.

Thank you. I'm only starting to learn about fixing bikes up. :)

Thank you so much. I needed the reassurance. :)

Not that you need my reassurance also, but YES 1.5 tire will fit on your rim!
