davidlandy:
15 or 16 inches--- which is best for rim sizes?

advantages, disadvantges?

muddyweb:
My money goes on 15"

Tyres are cheaper
You can get more rubber down when you air down due to the taller sidewalls


Downside, they tend to 'roll off' a bit more on corners for the same reasons.

davidlandy:
I know what u mean strange how tyres would be cheaper when there is more rubber used to make a tyre with the same outside diameter??

would that inch make a difference on air down?

understand how they could be more boaty on corners

Thrasher:
19" - you know it makes sense :-)

muddyweb:
15" is cheaper because they make more of them... economies of scale and all that.

You'll be surprised what difference an extra inch can make :-)
