Tire Sizes

352 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Kerry Irons
I have a 2018 Specialized Tarmac Expert SL5 and ride 700x25 Vittoria Open Corsa Clinchers that I stocked up on when they were still available.
I'm wondering if any of the Specialized tires in the 700x26 would fit or should I stay with the 700x24? I'd like to be able to put the 26s on but I'm not sure if they'd fit.
It looks like there's room, but I 'm wondering if any of you have tried this.

How much room is there now?

Yes, it looks like the 26s would probably fit. I'll have to try them.
Thanks for reading it!

Recognize that tires often don't measure on the rim like their specification. And of course a given rim can alter the mounted width of the tire. If you have reasonable clearance now, then you sizes you note are probably not an issue, but you will know once you mount the tires.
