Hi, I want to replace the 20x3 inch cst big boat  road tires on my radmini 4.

I am looking at the Kenda Krusade 20x4 inch tires. Is it possible to switch to these, and will I need 20x4 inch inner tubes also? Thanks.

Yes they are a good swap and yes you will need the 20x4 tubes. I prefer this set up to the CST.

Okay thanks, so the tires don't come with tubes already with them?

Not wishing to offend.  I've never seen tires sold with tubes included.  And I've been buying tires for decades.  Therefore, unless your seller is doing something different from tradition, you are unlikely to get a tube thrown in.  In tubes, there is diameter (20 inches or 406 tires) and width (4 inches for your new tires).

Okay thanks, this is the first bike I've ever bought tires for

This is great.  I am all for trying something new.  Remember to buy some plastic thing to remove the tire from the rim.  In case you don't know, the plastic ones don't scratch up your rim.
