Fixed some nonsensical information.

| Oct 16, 2021 at 9:45 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | 60 months? That is 5 years. I have had several bikes where the tyres did stay on way longer than that. (Maybe fewer km, but that has nothing to do with age.) My folding bike of about 2002 is still using its first set of tyres and tubes. | |
