Considering a Mountain Bicycle Tire Selecting a cycling and running tights and mountain bike tire can be more difficult than one might think. You’ll have a lot of choices to make, and this article might help you make them. To get a new bike tyres, you first have to find the tire’s dimensions from the side of your tire. Standard U.S. sizes include: 26 x 2.1 and 26 x 2.5, among many others. The first number is the tire’s diameter in inches, and the second is the tire’s width. You can’t get a tire that has a different diameter size from your original tire, but you can change the size of the width, though your tire rim might be restricted in the particular widths it can accept. Unless you have tubeless bicycle tyres, the next consideration is the variety of beads, which serve to hold the tire in place. Wire beads are created of steel, while elastic (folding) beads are constructed of various synthetic materials. Wire-beaded tires are heavier but cheaper than folding tires. The multi tool tire’s casing material is ranked in threads per inch (TPI), and the higher the number, the better your handling and control will be. Tires with a lower TPI are heftier, heavier and stiffer, but they're also cheaper, less prone to punctures and more rugged. If you would like a heftier bike tire and don’t mind some extra weight, you can buy a tire with subtread, a reinforcing sub-layer.
The types of riding terrain and the tires best suited for them are shown below. Smooth Hard pack and Racing If most of your riding is done on smooth hard pack, tires with low rolling resistance would be good. Narrow tires (1.8 to 2.0) are nice for this, but if you are heavier or there are rocks mixed into the hard pack, you’ll probably want to go a little wider (2.0 to 2.2).

Also effective are tires with tightly spaced knobbles, which will make the tire sleeker and quicker. For nice cornering on hard pack, knobbles with a wider base are a good choice. Loose and Technical Conditions If you ride on trails that have roots, loose rocks, and loose climbs, you’ll probably want tires with a more aggressive tread pattern, like a tire with taller knobbles, which dig in and provide extra traction.. Buy a tire width in the 2.0 to 2.3 range, which is wide enough to give you a smooth enough ride in rocks and narrow enough to climb fairly well in. But if you think you'll be doing more aggressive downhill riding with little climbing, you’ll want to go wider. Muddy Conditions Narrow tires are great for mud. They prevent your fork and stays from clogging up much when mud sticks to the tires. A widely spaced tread style allows mud to fall off, helping prevent mud from sticking between the knobs. Varied Terrain A tightly spaced, low tread pattern can offer you the best versatility. They'll provide you a fairly low rolling resistance yet have plenty of traction for cornering and climbing. A semi-slick mountain bike tire would provide you little or no tread in the center and knobs on the sides for cornering.
