Hi, I have my Mountain Buggy Switt for 18 months. I use it everyday as every mum but the tyres are gone completely. You can see the tube. I don't think that is normal. I now the solution is to put new ones but I want to know if I can ask for new ones because it seems they were faulty. I have friend with the same stroller and that have been using it as much as I did and the tyres are fine.

tyres are a pain some times, but they can be a snap if you have a good tool to unhoop it the wheel. the best tool that i have found is a butter knife that has a few wraps of electrical tape (black tape) and take that and place it inbetween the tyre and the rim prying out ward get the tyre to 'jump' the rim and with your thumb keep it off the outer part of the rim. now firmly move the knife tape side in the wheeltug it around the wheel and keep the rubber out of the rim till you get the rubber off the rim. now remove the tube form the inside, and replace the new tube (or patch the old one) back inside the rim. make sure the stem is neatly in the hole and not pressed to one side.
Now with the same motion pry the tyer back onto the rum and using your thumb keep the tyre pressed on to the rum and go all the way around now just pump the tyre back up and you should be good ro go.
Before just replacing the tyre (if it's still OK), a flat may be caused by a sharp object sticking through the tyre, puncturing the tube. Carefully check the inside surface of the tube with your fingers for sharp objects.
The Freestyle 4 uses generic 12" tyres but the thread may be quite specific. The stroller may have come with 'slick-type' tyres that are no longer available. The newer Freestyles come with these tyres: http://www.babycare.nl/tyre-125x225-for-pushchair-buggy-stroller-p-1868.html
THe Mountain Buggy is very simple to fold. Level with the footrest, there is a black plastic button (either side), these simply push toward the back of the pram and hey presto! The pram will collapse. To make this as small as possible, keep the front two heels on swivel so that they tuck neatly underneath and the handle bar adjusted to the lowest position.
