Countless kinds of tires and rims have been made for bicycles. Before tire and rim standards were set by the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) and adopted c.1970 by the International Standards Organization (ISO), manufacturers in different countries produced their own tire and rim sizes. Most tire and rim sizes are nominal, not always the true measure, just close designations.
'''Bead Seat Circumference (BSC)''', or '''Bead Seat Diameter (BSD)''', where the tire bead seats in the rim, is the most accurate measure.
'''French Metric''' tires are measured by diameter in millimeters, and by width in letters (A is narrow 20mm, D is wide 50mm).
An exception came with narrow 700-size clincher tires designated as C.
'''Fractional Inches''' tire sizes usually fit wheels with European straight-bead rims and British wired-on rims.
'''Decimal Inches''' tire sizes usually fit America hook-bead rims.
*Narrow width tires (18cm to 25cm or 1-1/4" to 7/8") usually fit hook-bead rims.<br><br>

The rim is the part of the wheel that in most cases is what the tire attaches to.

Tire and Rim Sizes

Chart shows most tires and rims, from large to small, fat to narrow.© 2001-2005 bikecult.com

Countless kinds of tires and rims have been made for bicycles. Before tire and rim standards were set by the European Tire and Rim Technical Organization (ETRTO) and adopted c.1970 by the International Standards Organization (ISO), manufacturers in different countries produced their own tire and rim sizes. Most tire and rim sizes are nominal, not always the true measure, just close designations.

Bead Seat Circumference (BSC), or Bead Seat Diameter (BSD), where the tire bead seats in the rim, is the most accurate measure.

French Metric tires are measured by diameter in millimeters, and by width in letters (A is narrow 20mm, D is wide 50mm).

An exception came with narrow 700-size clincher tires designated as C.

Fractional Inches tire sizes usually fit wheels with European straight-bead rims and British wired-on rims.

Decimal Inches tire sizes usually fit America hook-bead rims.

  • Narrow width tires (18cm to 25cm or 1-1/4" to 7/8") usually fit hook-bead rims.

  • Yellow rows indicate rim, tire and tube sizes commonly found, particularly in the United States.
