There are dozens of different tyre sizes out there, and some of the unusual ones can be very hard to find. Here’s what we have found - we keep all these in stock. We also stock rims and wheels...

(the number after the size is the ISO number - if you aren’t sure of the size, look for a number like 37-349 on your existing tyre - the 349 is the important bit in this example).
