Around 2000 I made the first comparisons on the effect of rim width on tire size. The charts below are for two sessions a couple of years apart. The same rims were used for both. The 26mm rim is still used as my "control" rim for measuring all 26" tires for the spec charts. Panaracer Fire Mud Pro 1.8 | Rim width / pressure | Casing Width
