Tyres designed and made specifically for Moulton bicycles

Tyres designed and made exclusively for Moulton bicycles

This is a listing of wired-on (clincher) tyres produced specifically for Moulton-brand bicycles. Many other tyres have been made that will fit certain rim types used on Moultons.

37-298

14 x 1 3/8" (37-298) Dunlop, based on the Dunlop Sprite touring tyre. Used for 7/8th scale (Mini series) Moultons

37-349

16 x 1 3/8" (37-349) Dunlop, based on the Dunlop Sprite touring tyre, with amber walls. Used on early full-size F-frame Moultons, apart from racing versions.
16 x 1 3/8" (37-349) Dunlop, based on the Dunlop Sprite touring tyre, plain walls, no dynamo track. Used on full-size utility F-frame Moultons and standard Safari.
16 x 1 3/8" (37-349) Dunlop, based on the Dunlop Sprite touring tyre, plain walls, with dynamo track. Used on full-size utility F-frame Moultons and standard Safari.
16 x 1 3/8" (37-349) Dunlop, based on the Dunlop Sprite touring tyre but with slightly modified tread and Nylon cording, plain walls, no dynamo track. Used on later full-size utility F-frame Moultons and standard Safari.
16 x 1 3/8" (37-349) Raleigh SW, copy of the above but apparently slightly heavier and with dynamo track. Believed to be made in Poland for Moulton MkIII, marked 55 psi, 3.8 atm.

32-369

16 x 1 ¼" (32-369) Dunlop, with silver walls. Very rare and the earliest example of Moulton's specially-developed HP tyre. Apart from the silver walls (reportedly abandoned when the 'silver' was found to be explosive), the appearance resembles a finer version of the Dunlop Sprite. The rim for this tyre was designed with the same braking flange diameter as the 18" (or in Moulton/Dunlop terms, 16") sprint rim for the tubular tyres (sew-ups) hitherto used on racing Moultons. The idea was that users could easily switch between HPs and the much less durable tubs.
16 x 1 ¼" (32-369) Dunlop, with amber walls. Early and short-lived successor to the above specially-developed HP tyre. Used on early S-range and Speedsix.
16 x 1 ¼" (32-369) Dunlop, with plain walls. Commonest 1960s version of the Moulton HP tyre. Used on S-range and Speedsix.
17 x 1 ¼" (32-369) Wolber, introduced to replace the Dunlop 16 x 1 ¼" for the AM series in the early 1980s, marked 70 psi, 4.6 atm.
17 x 1 ¼" (32-369) Wolber C3 slick, introduced in 1989 for the AM SPEED, designed to run at 140 psi, 9.5 atm.
