62 typhoon tires

[62typhoon]

my typhoon has S7 rims and presently has 24 x 1/3/4 tires...I have a bike shop telling me the
24 x 1/3/8 tire will fit....true?

I really doubt it. And why would you want to put skinny tires on a middleweight?

They will not and they must say 24 x 1 3/4. This is not the same size as 24 x 1.75 nor is it the size Schwinn used with their S2, S4, S5 or S6 rims. The bike shop is confusing them with one of the other S rims. S7s are different diameter than the others. Roger

I'm having the same issue. The only 24 inch whitewall brick tire that I can find that looks like the original is a Duro 24 X 1.75 / Sunlite makes a 24 X 1 3/4 tire that will fit a 24 inch S-7 but it doesn't have the brick pattern. So it's trade off - I'm probably going to use a (non Schwinn) 24 X 1.75 rim so I can have the (original looking) brick tires.. If you decide to bump up to 24 inch S-2 rims there's is a seller on E-Bay currently selling two sets of 24 X 2.125 Typhoon whitewalls
