Schwalbe Tire Inflated Sizes
August 17th, 2008 by Bill | Filed under Schwalbe, Tires.People are interested in the inflated measurements of the tires they put on their bikes. I have measured some of the Schwalbe tires that we have on bikes in our fleet. The tires were inflated to their normal running pressure.
Measurements are in millimeters, height is from the edge of the rim. ETRTO size is in parenthesis.
The diagram is from the excellent Schwalbe North America technical pages.

Please Help
Our list is growing but it needs more. Please contribute the measurement of your own Schwalbe bicycle tire in a comment. Once we get enough data to be meaningful I will add a column to our online tire table.

Marathon Supreme 50-559, (26×2.0)
on Ritchey vantage expert rim
44-45mm wide, A, and about the same for the height, B. A nice round cross sectional shape.
looks like a very good tire, haven't ridden yet due to rain. I think they are a couple millimeters smaller than the Big Apple 50-559. I expect the supremes will be a bit faster and maybe a bit less comfortable. The rubber grip is apparent so I believe what Schwalbe says about wet road performance.
