This 16"x1.75" front tire for the Schwinn Sting-Ray Krate may just be the best deal in tires that you will find. Believe it or not, this was once one of the most popular size bike tires in America. The classic Schwinn Sting-Ray Krate differed from the standard 20" Sting-Ray with this mounted on the front rim, giving the Krate its distinctively rakish look,even among its standard Sting-Ray stablemates.

Note: This 16" front tire is not compatible with standard Sting-Ray models with 20" front tires.
