melissalobos on HNGreat work. I've replaced several tires and every time it's the same ambiguous lookups followed by crossed fingers as I install the thing. I'm sure I'll use this page in the future

Does not cover tubeless or car tires
From 2 comments
Needs a note re tubeless setup, esp for mountain bikes. Fewer punctures, easier to repair in the field. Tubeless-ready tires should also have a note on the sidewall.
