My son, three and a half, is a mean balance bike pilot who has recently learned how to do awesome skids.

The result is that I need to acquire new tyres for his steed - but can't find them anywhere.

They are marked as 12 x 2.125 and they appear to be rare as a rare thing.

Any ideas?

Any bike shop that stocks Shimano will have an account with Madison so just give them the product code and job done smile

Or these in nearly the right size

You don't need to match the second number (tyre width) any size will fit. Get some Schwalbe Big Apples in 12x2.0. Nice high volume tyres and fast rolling too.
