T Tinsmith Well-Known Member May 15, 2009 1,056 259 83 Maryland May 28, 2010 #1 My MB has a 24X2.125 rear wheel. I have a 24X3.00 tire I would like to mount on it. Can it be done on the current rim or do I need a different size rim to accomodate the new tire? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Dan
