Is it Save Using 1.95 Rim for 2.20 Tire ?

Question

Friends,

I have bought Kenda Telonic (DTC) 2.20 Tire for my bike however I forgot that my existing Rim is for 1.95 Tire (it shows in the rim sticker).

Is it save to use 1.95 Rim combine 2.20 Tire ? Should I change ?

Is there any restriction on riding style if I keep using 1.95 & 2.20 combination ?

Answer 1

You should be fine.

Answer 2

Yes, as long as the tire doesn't rub the frame of your bike, you can go more or less as wide as you want. The 1.95/2.20 refers the the width of the tire and even that isn't an exact number.  One manufacturers 1.95 might be the same as anothers 2.10.

Answer 3

my rim is for 1.90 and today i put a 2.30 specialized chunder, so u'll be fine!
