What is the biggest tyre that will comfortably fit on a torker's
standard rim?

What is the biggest rim and tyre combination that will comfortably fit?

(I am too lazy to go and measure the things myself).

We don't use Torkers here in Toronto, Canada, but I have a web page with
numerous tires both in 20" and 24", with actual tire widths, if available.
The published widths from many tire manufacturers are a little over
inflated. When you get to a fat tire over 2.5" you'll also need to measure
the height of the tire above the rim to ensure you have enough top
clearance. You'll need at least 1/2" or rocks/snow/mud will jam in between
the top of your tire and your frame, causing you to an unceremonious
flying forward dismount.

You don't say if you have a 20", 24" or 26", so the answer depends on your
question...
