Tyre Diameter

Silly question but is there a difference in the tyre diameter for a 26" bike with v brakes vs disc brakes. My tyres on my bike I am using here in Angola are shot to pieces and I bought a set of 26x 2 tyres but they fall over the rim. The only thing I can think of is that there is a difference between the rims?

There are 2 different 26" standards. One is for mountain bikes, the other is for the old dikwiel types. You've probably bought a dikwiel tyre, they're a few mm bigger in diameter.
