Tire Substitution Ok ?
I have a 26" Schwinn front wheel in great condition but the tire is bad and someone put the wrong size tube on it. I tried to look it up but the articles I read require the ISO on the tire and this one isn't marked.
26"×1 3/4" S7 is the marking on the tire I want to replace. Is there an easy to find substitute size that will fit in the rim ? I'm certain it's a 26" Schwinn rim.

Here is a web site offering that exact tire: https://bobs-bicycles.com/shop/compo...-x-1-3-4-tire/
According to it the rim size is ISO 571.

The ISO/ETRTO sizes make so much more sense than the hodgepodge of decimal/fractional/metric/letter sizes.

It's giving this newbie a headache. I think I'll get a 26 ×1.75 wheel and tire and call it a day. That's what I replaced the rear wheel with anyhow. I can probably sell the Schwinn wheel down the line.

Is this the stock wheel that came with your bike? A 26in wheel (ISO 559) may not work with the brakes of an ISO 571 bike frame.
The Panaracer Pasela in 28c were my favorite tires I could find when I was looking at the availability of 650c tires. Make sure your frame can fit a 28c wide tire before purchasing.

They may a wire bead version which is a little cheaper.

26" MTB wheels are 559 ISO.
There are TONS of 26" 559 tires out there. TONS. Every Walmart has them.
