24" tires

Michael Press said:

I'm looking for 24" tires for my wife's bike. I want to
replace the knobbies with tires more appropriate for street
and bike path use (little chance she's going offroad).

Where can I find a good selection of 24" tires?

Thanks, Michael

Forgot to mention, the wheels are 24" x 1.5". What's the
minimum width tire I can put on them?

Thanks, Michael

Just about any bikeshop should carry them.

There are at least 5 or 6 non-interchangeable "24
inch" sizes.

OK, the decimal tells me that she has the 507 mm size.

The Vee Rubber 24 x 1.25 will fit, and is the fastest, easiest-
rolling tire available to fit her rims.
