Parents and riders replacing a worn tyre on an 18 inch BMX or kids' bike who like the classic knobby look.
This is a Comp III style BMX tyre made by Duro, in black and sized 18 x 1.75 (47-355) for 18 inch wheels. The tread is the familiar knobby, chain link pattern, and it is a popular choice on BMX and kids' bikes.
It is a wire bead tyre, so it fits a standard 18 inch rim with a matching inner tube. Check the maximum pressure moulded into the sidewall before you inflate it, and keep to that figure.

This tyre is 18 x 1.75 inch, ETRTO 47-355, so it suits 18 inch rims with a 355 mm bead seat. Check the size printed on your current tyre's sidewall before ordering, and choose an inner tube that covers a 1.75 inch width.
Fitting a wire bead tyre on a small rim
Seat one bead on the rim, tuck in a lightly inflated tube, then work the second bead on with your thumbs and check the tube is not pinched under the bead before you pump it up. If it is hard going, a little soapy water on the bead helps. Tyre levers can nip a tube, so use them carefully.
