Hit a snag on the poor man’s manta ray build!

The bike came with some decent tires, but there are 2 spots of pronounced dry rot on each tire. (The rubber is also very hard to the touch) -I could make them work but would prefer some fresh rubber.

anyone got access to some fairly priced Schwinn ISO 547 tires?
 
Thanks! Are these guys for real? -I tried to buy a set from an online place called performance bike last week and my credit card company froze my card for fraudulent behavior!
Guru is for real. I've bought lots from them

Hope ya get good luck with those tyres bro....chin up though.......happened to me a while back, got a brand new card in the mail, rang em up and activated it, a week later I was 150km away doing stockfeed delivery and stopped at a small coastal town fishing shop, I wanted to support them and buy something,
I found an Alvey Surf reel, @ $220 was the most expensive reel ive bought, went to use brand new card....Declined...Grrrrrrr so I used another main debit card and left, I was pleased with the reel but devastated my new card flunked out!
I got home and rang em...they said it declined because I was using it too far away and their security received a prompt and they shut the card down.
I was Irate and demanded an apology under the grounds they caused severe embarrassment to a client of theirs! they agreed and a letter of apology turned up in the mail!
So a win for me but this caper is only gonna get worse!
so sounds like a bank issue..... you'll sort it easy!
For the record that alvey reel is touted as the best surf reels you can get, drop em in the sea...no probs, all stainless and plastic. its turned out to be the worst reel of any that ive ever owned ha ha ha LOL... thatll teach me!

I have traveled a lot in my day and have not had many problems like that! Super frustrating!!!

I bought these tires off of BMX Guru and no problems so far!
