lokk at the clearance between the tires that are on the bike and that will tell you how much room you need for the bigger tires the space between the tire and the frame and forks.

I have a similar problem my 97 Stumpjumper came with 1.95 and I went to 2.1. It is very close to rubbing the frame. The rear wheel shifted a little during one ride and it rubbed some pait off the frame. I am thinking of finding some smaller tires. Like Roberto said earlier not all manufacturers measure the same, so your best bet is if the bike shop will let you mount the tire to see if it will fit.
I don't think you can get a 2.5 on your bike without it rubbing
Good luck.

you may verify the 1st quantity (26) is an identical because of the fact thats the diameter of the tire. The width (2.a hundred twenty five) is easily as much as you and the physique clearance. verify the two front and back tire clearance as many times you have extra clearance on the front tire, yet that varies from motorbike to motorbike. seem at tires with a smoothe center tread and knobs on the shoulders(edges). A tire i've got used interior the previous that worked nicely for the two highway and dirt is the Bontrager convenience B in 26 x a million.ninety 5, yet there are a number of others available. in case you dont have a motorbike save close by, look at on line shops like Jenson, Pricepoint, Nashbar, Biketiresdirect and comparable.

Kiri.
It depends on the tire and the frame.
Some frames have narrow seatstays or chainstays, which might limit the width of the tire you can put (1.95 or 2.3 is the theoretical width of the tire). Not all tire manufacturers tires come the size they put, some might be wider, and some narrower.
Also, some tires are taller than others. Go to the bike shop and ask them if it will fit, probably you would need to take the bike.

Check the space on your frame. You want some clearance between the tire and the frame. When you corner, the wheel will flex some, so you want to be able to have space for that.
