My next door neighbour bought a pair of what he thought were 26 X 1 1/4 tyres at the Scarborough Branch of Halfords. When he got them home it was obvious that the tyres were too large for his wheels. we checked the labels on the tyres and they stated 26 X 1 1/4, then we checked the size marked on the tyre itself and that too stated the same. we then checked that his wheels were in fact 26 inch and they were. The tyres were even too large for my 700c wheels and also my 27 inch wheels so I suspect they were probably 28 inch tyres. To be fair, they were exchanged without quibble for a more expensive pair of tyres at no extra cost but exchanging them had involved a 40 mile round trip.
Moral of the story, if you buy a pair of Halfords own brand tyre, check that the tyre is the correct size no matter what the label says
