Hi there. I don't know if this in the right section? Basically I started building a beach cruiser.. bought some 26" 559 tires.. bought some 26x1 3/4" rims.. they will fit right? Both being 26"? How wrong I was.

So anyway I'm wondering if anyone knows a good place to get 26x1 3/4" tires? Preferably whitewall. Apparently Kenda make them but I can't seem to find anywhere to get hold of them.

Cheers

I doubt they will fit. As ever, Sheldon Brown has the info: Sheldon Brown Tire Sizes

Sorry, missed that you’d already identified the “mis-match”

Where are you based? Bankrupt Bikes usually have some: https://bankruptbikeparts.co.uk/collections/tyres

Try searching by the exact size 571 or 650C and you should be able to find some, including the ivory colour Kenda Kontenders.
