24" tires

Michael Press said:

I'm looking for 24" tires for my wife's bike. I want to replace the
knobbies with tires more appropriate for street and bike path use
(little chance she's going offroad).

Where can I find a good selection of 24" tires?

Thanks,
Michael

Forgot to mention, the wheels are 24" x 1.5". What's the minimum
width tire I can put on them?

Thanks,
Michael

Just about any bikeshop should carry them.

There are at least 5 or 6 non-interchangeable "24 inch" sizes.

OK, the decimal tells me that she has the 507 mm size.

See: http://sheldonbrown.com/harris/507

The Vee Rubber 24 x 1.25 will fit, and is the fastest, easiest-rolling
tire available to fit her rims.
