Odd tyre sizes?

bigcgilmour

Looking for a bit of help/advice trying to find tyres for my kids bikes.

Ordered 26" tyres for eldest son bike but these are too small didn't realise there were many different sizes of 26"... You live and learn eh? current tyre size is 26 x 1 3/8, ERTO is 37-590 but I can't seem to locate specifically slick tyres? Anybody had any luck?

Youngest has 20 x 1.5 ERTO 38-406, again I can't seem to find any slicks, ordered what I thought was again a normal 20" tyre but way too big....

Anybody help?

What bikes are these for? 590 is a wheelchair size, so it might be worth looking at some of those options. 406, again, might be worth looking if any folding bikes use that size..

Are you sure the 26 is a 590? 26s are usuall 559. Theres not a lot out there in thin slicks but
