# What is the maximum tire width that my bike can accommodate?
**We recommend leaving a minimum of 4mm of clearance for on-road applications, and 6mm for off-road applications. **
For many of our newer bikes, the bike’s maximum tire width is listed in the product manual under the “frame details” section.
For our older rim brake bikes, please physically measure the clearance to both the frame and the brake calipers to ensure safe fitment.
