Unless she's a demanding, competitive-level rider, those tires will
probably work perfectly well. OTOH, at any given time there's usually
a better tire to be had for what amounts to the same price per pair
from one of the mail order houses, now that VoldeMart swapped to
higher-priced Kevlar-bead tires instead of the inexpensive wire-bead
versions that they used to carry.
