Pro Tips for Identification:

  1. Format Swap: Sizes like 4.10/3.50-4      and 3.50/4.10-4 are usually identical; the order of width vs.      height just varies by manufacturer.

  2. Flat-Free Options: Many of these      sizes are available as "Solid Polyurethane" (Flat-Free). They      are great for areas with nails or thorns but offer less cushioning than      pneumatic (air-filled) tires.

  3. OD vs. Rim: Always distinguish      between the Outer Diameter (e.g., "13x" or      "15x") and the Rim Size (e.g., "-6"). A      13x5.00-6 and a 15x6.00-6 both fit a 6-inch rim, but the latter is much      taller.
