Measuring a bike tyre involves several simple steps:
1. Start by checking the side of your current worn-out tyre - all the relevant information should be printed there. The measurements are often indicated in either the metric system (like 700 x 23) or an Inch measurement (like 27 x 1.25).
- The first number you see corresponds to the diameter of the tyre - this needs to match the diameter of the wheel rim.
- The second number indicates the width of the tyre - this can vary, depending on your preferences. A wider tyre provides more stability and comfort, while a thinner one reduces rolling resistance and increases speed.
2. If the information has worn off and cannot be seen, you can measure the tyre yourself.
- First, measure the diameter of the wheel. Use a tape measure to measure the distance from one edge of the tyre to the other, passing through the centre of the wheel (this is the diameter). This will give you the first value.
- Next, measure the width of the tyre. This can be done by measuring the distance from one side of the tyre to the other, always at the widest part. This will provide you with the second value.
3. Once you have these measurements, you can shop for a new bike tyre. Always make sure that the new tyre has the same diameter as the old one and that the width is suitable for your biking needs.
Note: Always ensure the new tyre’s width won’t interfere with your brakes or the frame.

The size of bicycle tires is typically determined by measuring the diameter and width. To accurately measure a tire. follow these steps: 1. Locate the size indicated on the side of the tire. which can be expressed in either metric 700x23 or standard 27x1 1/4 format. The first number represents the diameter and the second number represents the width. 2. If the size cannot be found or is illegible. manual measurement is necessary. Begin by measuring the tire's diameter from one edge to another. including the point where it connects to the rim and includes the bead. Three. Then. measure the width of the tire by determining its widest point. taking into account both beads on each side. 4. Make sure to note whether your measurements are in inches or millimeters to prevent selecting an incorrect size when replacing tires. 5. Use a tire size chart for comparison if needed when verifying your tire's dimensions. To ensure proper functioning of your bike. it is important to replace tires with ones that are a matching or similar size unless you intend to change your bike entirely. Using tires that are too big or small will impact its performance.
