The tires say inflate to 40-60, I usually keep the kids tires around 40-45.
Is this thing doomed to fail soon and I should replace it asap, or just leave it alone?
Seems a bit of a stretch to me. Sorry for the pun.
I'm neither an inner tube expert nor a father. That said, inner tubes are cheap and a child's safety would be the greater concern to me.
I hope it's on the rear?
