tires
Buying new tires tomorrow. I currently have 13.6x28 on 12 in rims. Should I keep that size or go back original?

Hi,
13.6 x 28 is the new designation for the old tire size of 12 x 28. If you have 12 inch rims then the tire you have currently fitted is the right size. You could even go one size up on those rims. One of my E27Ns has the same size fitted and they are marked 13.6/12 x 28 because they were made at the time when the size standards changed.
Your tire shop may even have a chart that they can show you that cross references all the sizes and what rims they can be fitted to.
Regards, Frank.

Beware of rim sizes, there are different ways of measuring it. The moden way is the internal bead width. Suggest you search on here for tyres/rims/wheels, there are lots of threads on the subjectnaildriver wrote:I was mistaken about the rim size, I will measure tomorrow. The tire said 12" rim but I recall that it is 11. will ck tomorrow
