Probably a stupid inner tube size question

I have Mavic Cross Ride 26" wheels on my Lapierre Zesty. The sidewall of the Maxxis Ardent tyre says 26x2.25. Need inner tubes and was going to grab some this morning from my local Halfrauds, but most of the 26" tubes they seem to have appear to be 26x1.75 - 2.10. Will that fit?

The only other issue is that I have Presta valves, I can't see any tubes of 26" size in Halfrauds that have Presta, they are all Schrader it seems. I take it I can't use a Schrader instead of Presta?

Could probably find one mail order I guess, but was hoping to ride with my son tomorrow, hence the reason for thinking I could just pop into Halfrauds.

No issue with valves, would just need to check you have a schrader pump

I think you'd likely be fine with those tubes. It's close enough.

Schrader and Dunlop valve stems are 8 mm in diameter, whereas Presta valve stems are 6 mm, so a Schrader valve stem won't fit through his rims.
