could you put real tires on this? those plastic ones don't seem to last long, wearing down and eventually cracking

You probably could but the whole thing is made out of plastic so it will probably wear out at the same time.

I guess it would be possible if you could find some that would fit and have the appropriate openings. But It would be hard to say.

you could just use your hand.....howver your hand gets tired, isnt always available, and tires out.....it's not like there very expensive anyhow. just my .02

I'm not sure I would. Some of the pieces are hollow & if they fill with snow & ice, even though this is metal I'm afraid in extreme winter conditions it might crack. I've actually had my bench blow over.

We bought it for my 7 year old son and he loved it, but I can see him outgrowing it very fast. What I didn't like about it was the plastic tires. I would look for one with real tires if I were you.

I belive it would be fine,if the ground is solid enough,as the tires are not too wide

sorry, I have not. Not sure how well it would work with the tires, to me...they are pretty low profile.

I had no problem at all. You can always buy some "spoons" to help mount the tires. They only cost a couple of dollars and I carry them in my bag in case I get a flat.

The tires are plastic. Rides well over most surfaces. I have not had any problems.

Possibly if the tire is made out of pool float like material. But it will probably get knocked down.

Not the best for that. On very smooth pavement may be ok but my mom had a hard time on sidewalks. It's definitely more of an indoor device. Perhaps someone can fit it w better tires? Hope that helps

Tires are made of plastic. They tend to slip on concrete with excess force.

yes you can. you lower the 'resistance bar' that the tire would rest on for resistance, until it is no longer touching the tire.

I cannot attest to the durability of the tires on asphalt. My mom uses hers exclusively on concrete & tile. The wheels LOOK substantial. Sorry cannot be more helpful.

Tire condition (there any cracks or holes in the plastic tires. Suggest you get some sort of 6 volt DC power source to check the motors.

Just buy some rubber tires (tyres 1/10 SCALE) and maybe some new wheels call it a day. PS DONT FORGET TO BUY THE GLUE LOL

We only have tried solid tires and they seem fine. So far use has been light and on sidewalks only. Our 2-year old did not take to peddling quickly, so not much to go on yet, but I suspect, based on the design of pedals and cranks, that this is not designed to go so fast as to warrant air tires.

We haven't tried it on the beach, only on paved/hard packed surfaces. I think you would need bigger, softer tires for the beach, depending on how much weight you were planning to put in it... :)
