Oddball tires - could use a hand here


Anyone know where I can find some super oddball 20 x 1 3/8" tires for this Montgomery Ward's folding bike? It would be fun to have, if I could just get it some new rubber. It's almost too much hassle, given that I can buy a Dahon folding bike brand new for $199...

Thanks, I can in fact get what I need there. Two sets of tires and tubes, $73 (without shipping). A longer seatpost, some new grips and it starts to get pricey.

Perhaps Primo Comets would work; however, if you're looking at $73 for 2 tires/tubes, you can get a new 22 lb aluminum folding bike for just $159 including shipping. If I had to guess, I'd say that's 10-15 lbs lighter than your old Montgomery Ward folder.
