inner tube to tyre match
Currently I have 20 x 1.75 tyres fitted and I fancy fitting some 20 x 2.2125. I have no idea of the inner tube size that is fitted but I am assuming it is 1.75/2.125 width. So I am wondering if I will need a new tube for the 20 x 2.2125 tyres.

Tubes expand when aired up.
Try it. It should be fine.

Yup, no problem, with that slight difference.
I would avoid trying to put a big tube in a smaller tire.
Or a tiny tube in a huge tire.

I rather fancy the tyre and it is fairly cheap but for a little more I can go 2.125 (slightly smaller) and not have the concern about the tube. My concern is the tube may have been on the bike for 8 years and not like being pumped up.

Heavy duty Thorn resistant, start out with more rubber in them , so remain relatively thicker as they expand..
+ they are thicker on the tread side than the rim side..
