A rim that can take a 32 can probably take a 38.
If Walmart sells bicycles for which they don't sell replacement tires do they expect the buyers to stop riding them before they need a spare?
Don't know if I would expect, or be distressed, if my Wal-Mart bike didn't outlast the tires.
And, our Wally-World does carry more than 700s than just 38, but nothing I would ride any longer than it would take to get a real tire.
