Tires
 

Where can one purchase WW2 British paratrooper folding bicycle tires?
Thanks!

Hi Dale, it all depends on the rim size that was on the bike. If you scroll down the page on this site, you'll see the tire size on this version of a BSA paratrooper model, which shows the tire marked with "Fits EA-3 or F-4 rim". That would be a modern ERTO-590 tire, 26 x 1-3/8", or 650A tire. You should measure the rim you have to double-check the bead-seat diameter, which should be 590mm, if it's this version.
