Whether the Maxxis Tread Lite fits your bike is decided by one number: the bead seat diameter, the second half of an ETRTO size. This tire is made for 622 mm, 584 mm and 559 mm rims — 700C / 28-inch / 29-inch wheels, 650B / 27.5-inch wheels and 26-inch wheels. If your rim matches, the only remaining question is width, and that is a matter of frame and fork clearance rather than of fit.

All 6 listings
6 listings across 3 sizes. Where a size appears more than once, those are genuinely different products — a different casing, colour or claimed weight. The “printed as” column is Maxxis's own marking for that size, which is what you will find on the sidewall and in most shop listings.

How the Maxxis Tread Lite compares on weight
Each row weighs the lightest listed Maxxis Tread Lite in that size against the lightest listing of every other model available in the same size. Models are compared once regardless of how many colours they come in, and tires with no published weight are left out of the ranking entirely.
| Size | This tire | Median for the size | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| 53-622 | 590 g | 668 g | 1st lightest of 4 |
