Default rim - tire?

How do I measure a rim in order to find out
what tire (clincher) will fit?

Both practically (how to get the size) and then
how to convert it into suitable tire
designations/dimensions?


If there are no markings and no tire is fitted, you can
measure the outside diameter minus (depth from lip to tire
seat x2) /2 which give you the effective radius from which
to solve for circumference.
584mm=F9, 650B
590=EA3
597=EA1
622=700C
630=K2, 27
635=F4 and so on.
