Hello, this is my first post on /n/
Recently my bike's tire was punctured while I was riding (a fucking radio antennae left on the side of the road penetrated right through it), so I need to replace my bike's back tire. I was going to replace the tire with the tire from my old bike, but I noticed the tires on my old bike are 26 x 1.95, and the tire that needs to be replaced is 26 x 2.10. Is that slight size difference okay or do I need to have the exact same size?
tl;dr can I replace a 26 x 2.10 tire with a 26 x 1.95 tire?

TL;DR yes
Longer answer: 26" refers to the tire diameter. 2.1" or 1.95" is the width of the tire. A rim is designed for a specific diameter of tire, but will fit many different widths. The 1.95" will fit just fine.
(more properly, in almost all cases a 26" tire refers to a tire with a 559mm bead seat diameter (the part that sits on the rim). Yes, 559mm != 26". That's an even longer story)
