best brand. how to determine sizes. what do the numbers mean.
There are four ways of sizing tyres 1) size in inches (old style) 28X4.00X19- 28(overall diameter of tyre) 4.00 (width of tyre) 19 (rim size) This system is still used for some tyres made by Coker 2) size in inches (new style) 4.00H19 4PR- 4.00(width of tyre) H(speed rating) 19 (rim size) 4PR (ply rating) most of these are 100% aspect ratio, This system is still used but less popular than metric or alpha. 3) Metric 110/90 X 19 67 H -110 (width of tyre in mm) 90 (aspect ratio of height to width) 19 (rim size in inches) 67(load rating) H (speed rating) This is the most commonly used system 4) Alpha or alpha-numeric MN90 X 19 B - MN (width of tyre) 90 (aspect ratio) 19 (rim size) B (load rating) This is also used quite commonly Top of the line tyres by brand include Avon, Metzler, Yokahoma, and Bridgestone Mid range tyres include Pirelli, Kenda , Maxxis and Telbrooke Economy tyres include Chen Shin, Duro, GBC Dunlop and Connie make a full line ranging from economy to top of the line. Coker only makes reproduction tyres for antique bikes. Twin Tyre only makes tyres suited for trikes and sidecars.
I run Dunlap. Most tires are sized with 3 numbers. For example 90-100-18 The first number is the width, approximately, in mm. This is not exact, and is an actual range of values that approximately falls within a window. The second number is the aspect ratio, or the ratio of the height of the tire to the width. So, a tire sized 100/90 would be narrower than a 120/90, (by approximately 20mm, a lot) and since the aspect ratio is the same, the actual diameter will be smaller, but not by much, I don't think you will even notice it. And the last number is the actual size of the wheel. Hope this helps.
The C clip can fall off if there is alot of wear in the differential. Time to get it checked out thoroughly.
You need to specify what you ride? I ride dirt and sportsbikes and have my own ideas and experience for what works on them but you need to be more specific!
