What 29.5-29 means
Every number on the sidewall is telling you something. Here's this one, decoded:
- 29.5Section widthAbout 29.5 inches across the widest part of the tire.
- –ConstructionBias-ply. The plies run diagonally, which gives a stiff, tough sidewall.
- 29Wheel diameterFits a 29-inch wheel. This is the number that has to match your rim exactly.
Size is only half the answer
Two 29.5-29 tires can be built for very different work. Ply or star rating sets how much load each tire carries, and the tread code (R-4 industrial, L-2 traction, L-3 rock and so on) sets the ground it's built for. Tell us the machine and the work it does, and we'll match the tire to the job, not just the numbers.
