What's the Widest and Narrowest you've had?

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
My Ridgeback has 37mm tyres on it (my old mtb might have had wider ?) but that the widest tyre I definitely know I've had.
Yesterday I put a 22mm on the front of my Kinesis and that's the narrowest I've had.
I'm just curious, how wide and narrow have other folk been?

26x 1.75 knobblies. Not sure what the erto measurement of that is 559 x ??

Otherwise the 28 x 1 1/2" on my roadster are 635 x 37mm. I've never used anything narrower than the 630 x 28mm on my Carlton.

roadish bike - has had 700x32, 700x35, 700x28, 700x23, 700x32 and now 700x28 but with 700x32 being next in line, I like 32 as a middle ground

commute bike - 700x35, 700x28, 700x35 and now 700x40 - the 700x28s didn't last long, were M+ and quite harsh in that size IMO

hack MTB - 1.95" I think front and rear but front tyre is far knobblier and only just fits under guards which are meant to be able to cope with about 2.2"

29er - not complete yet but tyres are Halo Twin Rail in 2.2" - really looking forward to putting these on, they look mahoosive

I also find myself hankering after a Surly Puglsey with some 3" rubber, but absolutely no use for it, just think they look cool.

Widest? I once (when I was about 14 and there was a bit of a local trend for it) attached the front forks and front wheel from a motorcycle to a bike frame. It was ****ing heavy but but it stopped sharpish. That tyre must've been six inches across, maybe more.

Narrowest? 23. Never bothered with 19s.

Let the picture say it all..
That's a 26x3" Nokian which I'd been running on the front of my DH bike, next to a 700x23 Schwalbe I ran briefly on my road bike.
