DUDE!!! Who cares about tires? Buy the thing, it's an awesome bike and for that price, who cares if you never even ride the thing. The price is so good it doesn't even matter if you use it hahahhahahaha

Do you think this bike could handle small to medium sized jumps (nothing bigger then 5-6 feet) Also, if you had to guess how heavy would you say it is?

I would say it could handle no jumps. Trek describes it as a beginner's MTB. It is not really meant for anything more technical than dirt trails.

Have you ever tried to pry off a hubcap with a jeweler's screwdriver?

At 5'8" tall that 19" frame will have to high of a standover for you and the top tube will be to long

I have 2 4300's and i jump them both, albeit not very high. Maybe, MAYBE 3 to 3 and a half feet at the most. As for weight, i'd venture to say they're both about 30-32 pounds each.

And they are a lot stronger than you'd think.
