What size tires do I need to roll with. I cant recall the exact size the majority of our members use but it was a size with no rubbing or any unforseen problems. Thanks.

check tire rack, you can look at different treads on the tires pick the exact size you want, and it will give you the price. Since most tires these days run mm dimensions and wheels in. you can figure it is about 24.5 mm per inch. on the width. The side number is an aspect ratio which is basically a percent of the hight compared to the width. If you go into specifications on the tires they will even give you overall diameter and width and the range of size wheel it will fit on. Also check out discount tire website.
