Tire Sizes

[Punani]

Hi guys,

Just a small question, I found the following tire sizes for our cruisers:

-61 : 7.10-15 4ply

62- : 7.60-15 4ply

I was wondering if this are the correct sizes?
And if so, does somebody knows the (real) dimensions of these tires?

Kind regards

AFAIK

7.10... just under 28"
7.60...just over 28"

I expect a 7.00-15 would be a negligible size smaller than the 7.10-15 ?

I'm not familiar with tire sizes etc, could somebody tell me what the widths are of these 3 tires?

I believe ... And I could be wrong ... That the 7 , 7.1 , 7.6 were tread width ... It really depended on the tire manufacturer for tire height ... Section widths for theses would be wider than those #rs
The numeric system was not a really good one

If you goto stausaonline.Com (specialty tire ) they have a great selection of 7.00x15's in oem style bias ply tires... I think their size is a bit larger diameter ... 29"?
