Who is "allowed" to sell kids toys with lead in the US ??
In common useage, cheap and inexpensive have different conotations.
Regardless of how the figures are manipulated, nobody gives their labor away for free.
At $116 for two tires, with tubes, mounted, the tires would have to be about $10 apiece.
Would you ride on $10 tires ??
Absent some strange overstock situation, there HAS to be a reason they are selling for such an inexpensive price.
I'm just saying BE CAREFUL of what you are getting.
We seem to be obsessed with price WAY more often than we are obsessed with safety.
P.S. I think you are probably one person who knows something about allowable size variations. How about telling him about THAT instead of wasting time jumping on my case ????? :neener:
