To expand on this. There is basically Schwinn 26 x 1 3/8 and non-Schwinn 26 x 1 3/8. Since you have a Raleigh, you need the non-Schwinn size. If the tires say S-6 on them, they are Schwinn size.

May just be you need to tinker with getting them to seat properly. But figure out if you have the wrong tire first.
