I have a cut in one of my tires on my 220. It is horizontally on the top of the tire about 2 inches long. It goes all the way through the tire. apparently there was a little stub of a tree left over under some heavy weeds. I do however already have a tube in the tire from previous thorn holes. Should I still get the tire patched? I'm afraid that after a lot of riding the tire will start to fall apart (tear enlarging) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] especially with it being a front tire at high speeds it could be dangerous. The tube is still intact and not damaged from what I can tell. So what do you recommend I do with this tire now?!! By the way they are the stock cheap Dunlops.

hmm dont' think they'd fit the 220 tires are really tiny... I probably won't be buying new tires since the tires on it aren't really that worn down. Thanks for the offer though!

Hey man, you might try to find some dirt devils... I think GBC makes them in all sizes. They are 4 or 6 ply, and i haven't worn mine down any, and the only use they have are on oiltop roads!

Go with the Dirtdevils, they are 6 ply rated. You can get them in all sizes. I have 24x11x10 on my bayou rear and 22x8x10 Titans on the front. 23x10x10 dirtdevils on the rear are a good setup.
