[ "Knowing about tyre tread sizesHave you got a new bike for yourself? Riding a bike is a wonderfulexperience but it is equally confusing to understand the details of it. Andwhen it comes to reading the tyre size of your bike, it seems like Greek whichis quite exhausting. But once you know the ways of reading it, it will be ducksoup for you. So, let us first understand the details of a cycle and its tyresto have a comprehensive understanding of the matter.Why is the Confusion?It is not unnatural to come across a tyre marking and not feel confused.There are enough reasons for it. This is because at times you will see thattyres having a size like 26 are actually not the same as 26 inches indiameter. Then again you might find that one tyre is marked, having a size of25x1.5 but you cannot consider it to be the same as 25 and 1 1/5, rather theyare two absolutely different sizes in reality. This problem exists because ofthe unorganised nature of the marking system followed traditionally by theproducers. Perhaps, you will find the modern-day;Tyres Cheltenham;markingsystem is much easier to understand as it is done following the InternationalStandards Organization (ISO) system which brings order in it. But this doesnot mean that you dont need to know the old style as many tyre producers areyet to completely adapt to the new marking style and work the old way. So, letus dive straight into the learning of it.How to Read It?If you are looking at a tyre with an ISO marking on it, then you need toapply the rules of ISO size reading. So, let us start there. In this method, youwill find two numbers that are separated by a dash in between. Now the 3-digitnumber marked just after the dash is what indicates the bead diameter of thetyre. If you know the bead diameter of your;Pirelli Tyres Cheltenham;andmatch it with your vehicles requirement then you can definitely have no issuesfitting it on the rim. But this might not be right to do if other factors arenot a match for your bike. Now coming to the front section of the marking whichis the number before the dash, it is indicative of the tyre section. This two-digitnumber is the approximate tyre width. But interestingly the tyre heightcorresponds to the tyre section quite well as the overall diameter is twice ofthe section added with the bead diameter. In this way you can easily measurethe tyre size.In the traditional way or the American or Imperial way of tyre sizemeasuring. In fact, all the American and Japanese tyre manufacturers follow theold ways. As mentioned before, the older method states that even if two sizeslook similar, they are not the same. Here rises confusion if you find a26x1.5 and another tyre with 26x1 1/5, they will definitely not match. This ismainly because of the difference in the value of decimal and fraction number.There is no doubt that the fractional number will be at least 1 inch more thanthe decimal value; which means that a tyre marked as 26x1  is larger in widththan the one marked as 26x1.5." ]
