The diameter 1.5", 1.75",1.95" etcetera have tubes which will fall into the range, ie, tire = 26" x 1.75" so you can use a tube in the range of 1.5" - 1.75".
Does tube size have to match tire size?
No, tubes and tires don't need to match exactly. Tubes are made from butyl rubber which can stretch. Bike inner tubes will accommodate a limited range of sizes. Larger tubes may be more susceptible to getting pinched between the tire and rim.
Can I use a smaller diameter inner tube?
Can I use a smaller or bigger inner tube than the tire? An inner tube that is 10 millimeters or half an inch wider or narrower can be used as long as it matches the rim diameter. A 700×25 inner tube works in a 700X32 tire, but in a 700X45 could experience issues.
Can you put a 1.95 tire on a 1.5 rim?
a 1.5" tube will work in 1.95" tires, but likely won't last as long. Larger tires will cause more issues (don't try 1.5" tubes in 2.3" tires if you want the tubes to last a ride).
Can you put any width tires on same rim?
Wheels and tires are not interchangeable words. Tires are a part of the wheel setup. For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size.
