How wide are 700x40c tires?

Take a close-up look at this sidewall and you’ll see words and numbers printed or embossed onto it. It might have the brand of tire (such as Continental) and you will also see the tire identification code “700x40c”. To summarize, the diameter of your tire is nominally 700mm and width is nominally 40mm.

How wide are 40C Tyres?

You’d be forgiven if you thought it was some abbreviation for a metric measurement, since the 700 represents millimeters, and a 40c tire is supposed to equate to a 40mm wide on certain width rims.

Is a 40 or 45 tire wider?

So on a set of tires that are 215mm wide, a /40 profile tire would have an 86mm tall sidewall, and a /45 profile tire would have a 96.75mm sidewall. So that’s about a quarter inch of difference between the two, which as stated isn’t going to be very visible.

Do 700C wheels come in different widths?

On a ‘700c’ wheel, you can have a range of different widths. 23mm wide tires have been the standard for most road cycling over the past couple decades. You might see a 700x20c, or a 700x25c. On a cyclocross bike or 29-inch mountain bike, you could see tires as wide as 700x35c or 700x58c.

What’s the difference between a 38C and 40mm tire?

This means that if you were to run a more trendy 23mm wide rim — such as a pre-2017-ish 29er MTB rim — that 38c/40mm tire will actually measure more like 42mm.” “The cyclocross riders may say that a 33 is faster, but most would run a larger tire if the UCI would let them,” Avery said.

What’s the difference between a 700 and a 40c tire?

You’d be forgiven if you thought it was some abbreviation for a metric measurement, since the 700 represents millimeters, and a 40c tire is supposed to equate to a 40mm wide on certain width rims. However, the C is not even a unit.

Which is wider a 35c or a 40c?

40c is wider than 35c. My 35c tyres are 35mm wide. Will the 40c be ok on a 622 x 17 rim? Has that helped you? 35 and 40 are the widths in mm. The wider the tyre the comfier it’ll feel but the slower it’ll go. Both widths (assuming you’re putting them on a road bike), are *very* wide.

What is the size of a 40-622 tire?

Not only that but the 40- 622 is what the tire says, yet it doesn’t match up with anything on the table. If anything one number matches up with a different tire, than the other. To put it simply the 40- 622 matches up with a different tire than the part that is. 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 1/2.
