Help with tyre sizes and usage
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me.
I am looking for the best type of tyre to use for country road and trail use.
I currently have 37-622 128x15/8 x 13/8 - 700x35c
To be honest I cannot make any sense of any of this. I had been looking at a continental couuntry plus tyre but they dont make it in a 35c.
What does 35c mean and is it important?
thanks in advance

Yes you can fit a 37...Where are you most likely to ride the bike... surfaces... mostly on the smooth road and sometimes in the gravel??? if so you would probaly benefit from a type that is specifically designed for road or dirt etc...On My QUick i have a Kenda Kwick trax 32c but i think i could go to a Kenda Kwick Roller sport 32c or to a 28c or even a Continental gatorskin 28c because i know i will be on the road 98% of the time...Different tires have different surface wich makes it roll better or are grippier to go on the dirt a little...The choices will make your head spin...

Somewhere on you rim,there should be a sticker that gives the rim's width(it'll prolly say something like 622 x NN). Here's a chart that tells you what size tires will fit on what rims:

Frame and fork clearance will also be a factor. Unless you're in actual mud/sand/snow,width will be more important than tread;a 37mm slick will work better than a 32mm cross knobby. What bike are you riding?
