Replacement tire size on the Moscow +

[PacNwTexan]

2 months in and I need a new rear. When my pre-order arrives Im giving this to my wife so I thought a wider tire would feel more stable...

Can i go up to 2.5? Maybe 2.8?

Update: NCM says nope. Again, hats off to their awesome response rate.

You can go 2.35, that's the wider tire I was able to fit and use without problems. However front will accept something a little wider, maybe 2.4 or so.

I went for some less expensive, durable tires since most of the riding is on the street. Kenda Nevegal X Pro 27.5 X 2.10. I paired it with a Slime tube to try and ward off any flats.

So far they're fine, not quite as soft as the stock tires, but road performance is as good, slightly better off-road.

I found them for $30 each on ebay.

Our new Nevegal X mountain bike tires have the classic control of Nevegal (long considered the industry standard), but are now lighter and faster. Get some now!

Hello.I just bought this tires Schwalbe Super Moto-X Performance Wired 584 x 62 mm / 27,5 x 2,40''.I hope they will fit perfectly on both wheels, I also measured the frame in the back and it would be ok. Has anyone tried this model of tires?

I bought the same tires,..
I haven't installed them yet.

I hope my rims have a crotch.

I just installed the new tires, they fit perfectly on the rim. Even the 2.8" would have fit without any problem. The only problem was that they were a little crooked and I had to tap them with a plastic hammer, but I solved the problem quickly. Also, Scwalbe tires are extraordinarily easy to replace, I took them off the rim very quickly. Before I had Smart Sam Performance Addix 27.5 x 2.25. I haven't had the time to do a longer test yet because the weather is very bad, it's cold and it will rain again. I did a little test without the battery to see how the bike feels on the road and it seemed to me that it makes less noise. I'm curious if I'll gain a few more km at maximum speed, and also the battery should last longer because the friction with the road is less.

Actually, I bought the 2.8's.

I bought a 29" wheel and a Schwalbe Hurricane tire for it but got mixed up and thought that a 70C was 29"

So I had to buy a 29" Hurricane as well.
The Hurricane tread design makes sense to me. Smooth center tread for low rolling resistance, with knobs on the sidewall for some grip in the dirt.

I have yet to install that tire as well.
I bought new inverted air forks to go with the 29" wheel.

For a tire size ETRTO 62-584 (27.5x2.4"), Schwalbe recommends a rim with an inner width between 19mm and 39mm. This is a common size for 27.5" mountain bike tires.Check the specifications of the rim: The next step is to check the specifications of the rim you have or are planning to purchase. 27.5" rims can have different inner and outer width dimensions. You need a rim that matches the recommended width for the Schwalbe Super Moto-X tire.Choosing the right rim: When choosing the rim, make sure it has the right inner widthfor your tire. In general, for a 27.5x2.4" Schwalbe Super Moto-X tire, a rim with an inner width of around 25-35mm would be suitable. This will provide adequate support for the tire and contribute to performance and durability general of the system.For the Schwalbe Super Moto-X 27.5x2.8", the ETRTO size is probably something like 70-584.Consult the manufacturer's recommendations: Check the tire manufacturer's (Schwalbe) recommendations for the right rim width for the specific tire size. Schwalbe will usually offer a range of rim widths to suit their tyres.Choose a rim with the right width: According to the manufacturer's recommendations, choose a rim with a suitable inner width for the 27.5x2.8" tire. This should be wide enough to provide support and stability to the tire.The right rim width: For a 27.5x2.8" tire, you'll need a rim with an inner width generally between 35mm and 45mm.

My rim width is 20mm, it is written inside, so 2.4" tire is optimal.

,..: For a 27.5x2.8" tire, you'll need a rim with an inner width generally between 35mm and 45mm.

These are the tires that are on my new Voltbike and I intend to install the Super Moto-X tires on the rims.

I figured they should fit because the rims already have a 3" tire on them.

I measured the outside diameter of the rim and got 41.5 mm so I think I'm in the right ballpark allowing for up to 3.5 mm wall thicknesses.

I think that I'm going to install the accidentally purchased Schwalbe Hurricane 27.5" X 2.25" on the front instead of the Super Moto-X?

It's got some knobs on the sidewalls that should help if I start to slide out in the dirt or gravel.
The front wheel will have a smaller diameter than the rear then, but I don't think that I'll notice or care?
