Be careful when you buy cheap fold-able bike tires.
The bike tire bead has been bent for a long time in the box and has rough edges. Over time, even as short as an hour, the tube will be punctured as it happened to me twice on the same ride. I ended up hitch hiking home as I only had one spare tube. Kenda tire company is the one that I that I had trouble with. Also the tires are not uniform. Mounting and dismounting of the the tire and tube could be done with no tools, just your hands.
Skip the $20 tires and go into the $40-60 dollar range. Well now I have to tire shopping, as all my 3 decade old tires, are cracking. Can you believe that?
Have fun, go ride.
