Review on 🚴 Premium Quality 12.5'' Replacement Tire and Tube Set for Popular Kid Bikes like RoyalBaby, Schwinn, Dynacraft Magna and Titan - BPA/Latex Free Butyl Rubber by Billy Branch

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works despite the wrong size.

I have mixed feelings. I live about 5 miles out of town and ride my bike towed back and forth. This is how I shop for groceries, make doctor's appointments, check my mailbox, go to the bank, etc. I run 50-100 miles a month, depending on how many trips I make and where. I've had the trailer for 17 months now which means it's easy to drive 800+ miles on it. Actually the tires are a bit flat, I had a puncture on one of them about a mile from home and there was no spare tube so I had to continue with the puncture. This caused me to blow out a tire so I decided to order a replacement for both the bad one and the other one because it's almost completely out of tread. I ordered them because they said they were 16 x 1.75 which came with 2 tires and 2 inner tubes. Very important. When I received them, I immediately saw that they were very different in size from the originals. I went ahead and replaced the bad one but left the other intact. This tire and tube are holding up well. Now about the differences between them and the old ones. Both say they are 16 x 1.75. An old worn-out tire is 15 5/8 inches in diameter and 1 3/4 inches wide. Yes, 16x1.75. These tires are designed for tread not exceeding 50 miles in sizes from 15 1/16 to 15 1/8 inches and 1 1/2 inches wide. what what I even chose to measure the tire from one rim flange around the tire to the other rim flange. Original tire size (with worn treads) 4 5/16 inches. Her height is 3 5/16 inches. Also the one I installed on the drives was NOT an easy task. I had to struggle to put it on. While these tires are 16 x 1.75 and will fit rims of that size, the tires are actually a more correctly sized 15 x 1.5. I will go ahead and leave them and plan on replacing the other original tire with a second tire/tube soon. However, I will NOT do it again.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Tape
