I recently noticed that same tire on the Ebay and was struck how they somewhat resemble actual button thread motorcycle tires authentic to the era.

But I didn’t pull the trigger because I’ve been burned in the past by tires labeled 26” x 2.125” that were disappointingly too small.

I wonder if at your convenience if you could measure those tires inflated...?

I’m just looking for “cross sectional” height from rim top to tire top & actual width.

I realize different rims will effect tire size but still I should be able to tell from those 2 dimensions if they are like the “Way too small for me” Kenda’s I bought a few years ago.

Thanks in advance!

Kirk,
I just bought a set of tires I'm happy with so far. They are 26 X 2.4" Cyclops from Niagra through Amazon. Reasonable price, too. They have a nice tatty look and reportedly give a great ride. Don't know that they are appropriate for racing, but we old guys don't go real fast anyway. At least I don't.
