I still have one NOS in the box! I believe its the last in my stash….:( Btw, the “mislabeling” was practice used by Avocet and other tire mfrs to lower the weight of their tires. Avocet Fasgrip tires listed as 700×28 actually measured between 24-26mm wide; 700×25 measured between 20-23mm; and you can probably guess what the 700×20 actually measured….Good luck!

It is also just under 24mm wide. I don’t remember the wire-bead version being that narrow.
