tyre size

Replacing tyres on my 2014 defy 1. Current are 25, will 23 be ok and fit the wheel?

 

[Cyclist33]

Yep fine.

What tyres are you going for?

 

[Peteaud]

Yes.

 

[Cyclist33]

When/if you refit the original tyres remember that the Giant tyres are front- and rear-specific!

 

[jon222]

Thanks for prompt help. I am only changing rear as it exploded going down a hill. It is ok to just replace one at a time to mix tyres? I am replacing with conti ultra gatorskin. I think they are good ones?

 

[Cyclist33]

yeah can't go wrong with those. generally [usual disclaimers inserted] i don't think it matters if you mix road tyres. Except aesthetically.

Well job done now, looking forward to my sunday ride in hertfordshire, hope the rain eases off.

Really? Is that all Giant tyres or specific ones? also once you take them off how do you know which is which? Mine are the Giant S-R4. I was going to swap mine out but keep them for the summer months.

 

[Cyclist33]

dont worry, the sr4s arent wheel-specifc.

My P-SL1's are marked for front or rear.
