Need a New Tire

[Beemer]

Hey guys (and gals),

I need a new tire already after just 400 miles of riding. The bike came stock with 26 x 2.35 tires. Would it be okay to put 26 x 2.12 tire on in place of it? Schwinn looks to make a decent kevlar backed tire with wire bead for $17 on Amazon and I'm considering that tire. i didn't realize that I'd be burning through a rear tire in such a short amount of time. I was hoping to save some money taking the bike to work in lieu of the car.

Yes they interchange along way as long as it's a 26"

There are different ranges a 26" tire's bead fits, depending on rim width I believe. If its close to the original then odds are it fits.

What could go wrong.

Thanks guys. I’m going to order them tomorrow. Appreciate the feedback.

He'll have to buy another in 400 miles... Might get a flat too.

You are seeing this in your crystal ball Frank?

I use the duro beach bum tires on my bike, they seem to hold up fairly well. Wanted to try maxxis holy rollers but haven't got around too it yet.
