Have just taken delivery of some Schwalbe Marathon Winter tyre - the ones with the studs in so my commute will be safe(r) riding if I encounter any ice.
I've just replaced my 26 x 1.5 original tyres with 26 x 1.75 the funky new studded ones.
I thought I'd replace the inner tubes too as the old ones were filled with slime and the new tyres have the Kevlar belt thing - so new tubes would save a bit of weight given the Schwalbe Winters are quite heavy.
Anyway, after I'd replaced the tubes I realised that one of them was sized at 26 x 1.5 but the tyres are 26 x 1.75.
My question to the Oracle is does the 0.25 matter and am I ok to use this "wrong size" tube?
