  • Ahem – what 16 inch road tyres?

    Recently bought a folder. Keep getting puncture. Tried 100psi, but the tyre came off.

    Any recommendations for a decent tyre?

    Vital question – 305 or 349? There’s two sizes called 16″, and they’re 2″ different in size 😉

    If it’s 349, you can get lots of decent high pressure tyres from Schwalbe – Marathons, Kojaks etc. If it’s 305, a bit trickier – can still get Marathons and Big Apples.

    Ah right. Didn’t realise that.

    I’ll check. It’s a mezzo d10 if that helps?

    I think the Mezzo is a 349 size, but best to double-check. It’ll say on the tyre sidewall.

    Mezzo is 349. Speedy = Brompton Kevlar tyres. Hardy = Schwalbe Marathon. Avoided = Raleigh.

    +1 for Schwalbe Marathon or Marathon Plus have them on my Moultons but in 20″ (406) flavour.

    Marathon Plus tyres onto a 16″ rim are a fun fitting job – I’ve bent steel tyre levers doing that 😉
