44 x 622 tyres?

[Paulq]

I am trying to find some M+ tyres to replace the stock ones supplied with my bike. The stock tyres are listed as being '44 x 622' - does anyone know what the equivalent 700c size would be (if indeed they are 700c wheels with that size on)?

Thanks.

The 622 bit is the correct size for 700c wheels.

Not sure if the 44 is correct though as M+ don't seem to come in that size?

Edit: Looks like the tyres you are replacing are Smart Sam's on the Cube?

This might help:

Thanks but I can't really follow that. What I'm trying to determine is what their size is today in 700c terms (e.g. 700 x 32c or 700 x 35c) and what size range 700c tyres that those wheels will take.

700 x 38c Mplus will be closest to what you have .

Simply 700c = 622. So if you currently have 44 x 622 tyres on the bike then 700 x 44 would be the direct replacement. Marathon+ don't do a 44 tyre so....

700 x 38c Mplus will be closest to what you have .
