Can you swap out the plastic tires with rubber and inner tubes?

The tires are not plastic. They are a hard rubber. Bike taught my daughter how to ride without training wheel!! Would buy it again.

Yep, the new ones come with the rubber one preinstalled and the aluminum/titanium in the box so u can swap it out.

What do you mean "change"? If you mean the rubber tires themselves; well yeah. They're tires. Tires pop and need to be replaced, so you just need to buy another set of the same size. If you mean the whole tire/rim assemby... That's probably a bigger challenge.

You will have to get hold of the manufacturer to see if you can get metal tubes. The plastic tubes are working just fine for me.

You don't have to change your tire. You just need to replace the quick release skewer from your bike has the plastic end caps for a metal one. It simply slides out.

Yes, you can, in fact this tire can ONLY be run with tubes. The tubeless version is much more expensive, typically around $80ish. This is NOT the tubeless version of the tire.

Yes, they can be put on but it takes a little effort and some skill not to get tube pinched, which has happened to me a few times. Not with these tires, though. I have to admit sometimes tires can be difficult but you just have to learn how to do it. One key is to always keep bottom part that has been put on as close to rim as possible, to give you the maximum amount of room at the point where you are slipping it on. I've never tried it but using a little soapy water around edge of tire might make it easier. Good luck.

I believe these tires are little to wide to fit on your bike. If nothing else, it is a good idea to replace tubes.

Yes, they are identical to the original tire on my particular model. Hard plastic with a internal metal attachment for the drive system. It has worked fine for me.

No you cannot install these valve stems without breaking the bead on the tire. The central part of the valve must go from the inside to the outside of the wheel.

My husband believes the wheels could be replaced with balloon tires, as long as the rod sizes are the same to hold them in place securely.

The wheels can be removed by pushing a button in the center and giving a slight tug. If you want to change the tires out for pneumatic ones, you'd be best off taking it to a bike shop. They have equipment that can swap them out in under 30 minutes.

yes the tires have tubes however I added green slime to the tubes b/4 I put it together

yes, you must use tubes. Not sure what your price is so I can't answer that. These are great tires, and will buy them again if mine ever wear out.

to the best of my knowledge, you are able to. You can use automatic or manual since the tubes have the necessary contacts.

Yes, the rubber piece can be replaced. I have not needed to yet. Mine still looks like it did when new and I have pebbletec

These tires will fit instead of the ones you have. But they are a much smaller width, so I don't know if that fits your definition of "replace". There are also wider slicks made if that is what you prefer.
