What is the difference? I had 25c's on & have just bought 25's they seem to be fine, but was just wondering.

Here you go, @Phaeton! Lots of tyre (or "tire") sizing information on this page: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html

Nope the Kenda tyres I took off were 25c & the Continentals I put on are just 25 didn't realise until after the event & it was only when I came to throw the old ones away I noticed they were 25c's, everything works & feels okay, just wondered what the actual difference was.2973464 said:

The "c" written after the tyre width usually stands for clincher, which is the style of tyre (as opposed to tubular). The fact that Continental have chosen not to put it on the tyre doesn't affect the size.

Thanks Phil, what made it even more confusing is that Continental offer both 25 & 25c although the c type were more expensive.

What model tyre? I'd hazard a guess that the price difference will be because that tyre is available as a wire bead or folding (kevlar bead) version.

I stand corrected - A misapprehension I picked up some time ago. Schwalbe make it clearer in this document (see page 4)2973582 said:

Yes they do, as the bike is a Giant & was running the original tyres from new & being manufactured in France having a C is quite logical

Those links show that the more expensive tyre is the folding version.
At least I got that bit right.
