75 Continental: The Tire Size On The Connie Is...

Standard 27" x 1 & 1/4" as shown here:



Recommended inflation is 70-85 PSI. I run my tires at 70 PSI. This is the maximum inflation the steel rims can handle without flexing and allowing the bead seal to pop open, which lets the inner tube pop out - and go BOOM. Disregard manufacturer inflation recommendations and stay to 70 PSI maximum if you're keeping steel wheels on your bike. (Updated 08/14/2012 DS)

Ride on,

Dan
