Question

Recently we bought this Schwinn bicycle that need new tires,can we put any kind of tires to it?

Answer 1

How old is it? Most of the old Schwinn bikes had a VERY special tire size. Schwinn did this so that every one would have to keep coming back to the Schwinn store (kind of monopolistic) But when Schwinn sold out, the standard for the old tire went away. And old Schwinn tires are kind of hard to find, some bike shops carry them.

So depending on the age of the bike, you answer could be yes or no.

If the bike is newer, then yes, it would fit like most other bikes, then the type of tires you put on it would have to fit/be the right size. (duh) you wouldn't put a 20' tire on a 26' wheel.

Good luck

Answer 2

You do know Schwinn makes many models, right? well, without that info, like someone stated, you can by any brand as long as it's the right size.

Answer 3

Well, sure you can put different tires on it. All you need to do is match the correct size. Since you didn't say what bike you have and Schwinn makes all kinds I can't be specific. If it an older bike be sure to replace the tubes as well.
