I'm ordering some new tires for my sisters mtb. I dont know enough to pick any out so i just decided to get the exact same ones she has. How do I know what size i need? Are there different tires that you guys would recommend for around $50 for a pair?

622 and 584 refer to the ETRTO in mm, 622 is 29″/700c and 584 is 27.5″.
The 54 is the width in mm, so 54mm or 2.1″ wide.
Depends what the intended use is, if its anything up to trail centre blue/red trails those RapidRobs are pretty decent XC/Trail tyres that should manage fine, but they are narrower than what is on the bike already, personally I don’t like most mtb tyres that are narrower than 2.3″ but its really down to personal preference and intended use.
One thing to note is that “Active Line” schwalbe tyres use the SBC rubber (Schwalbe Basic Compound) it’s a pretty standard dual compound rubber so they won’t be the grippiest tyres around but they will last a long time and roll fairly quick.
Please don’t buy bike stuff on Amazon, many counterfeit items due to reselling.
These are 26″ Tires you’ll need 27.5″ Or 57(diameter)-584(width )
Look for either 27.5-2.25 or 57-584 tires both mean the same size just the coding is different
The tires you show in the picture are 27.5 x 2.25 inches, or 57-584. The Amazon pic looks like a 26′ and a 29′ option, which will not fit your sister’s bike. You can get the Rapid Rob tire in 27.5×2.10 (2.25 out of stock) from Schwalbe online store: [https://www.schwalbetires.com/Rapid-Rob-11101394](https://www.schwalbetires.com/Rapid-Rob-11101394)
