schwalbe winter 16x1.2 on strida LT plastic rims?

Hi,
I found a thread discussing winter tyres here, but it’s over 3 years old.

I’m currently thinking about buying some winter tires for my strida LT, and found this:

schwalbe.com/en/spike-reader/winter.html

I’m new to strida, but I read that plastic wheels are designed for 1.25 “- 1.5”, so I suppose the tires I’m posting could work just fine.

Has anybody tried it yet?

Hello,

I’m so sorry, but I have to destroy your illusions:

The size 30-349 (16 x 1,20) will not fit a Strida 16" rim, equal if metal or plastic.
You need to observe primarily the ETRTO labeling; the size is misleading in this case!
All Strida 16 inch rims are intended for tire sizes like xx-305, xx-349 is definitely much too big.
:cry:

Thank you very much for quick reply! Too bad it won’t fit…

I’ll take Schwalbe Black Jack and see how they perform.

Yes, really too bad :unamused:
(But as always; there is a way…if you don’t care about costs and time…
All we need are two hubs, some spokes and two 349 rims :smiling_imp: )

Sure, you might try Black Jacks, but be prepared to expect mounting trouble:
Problem with Big Apple 16"
The Strida’s original rims do not match (very good) to (extremely) wide tyres :wink:
