Any advice on tires that won’t tear sidewalls?

The second picture is after I rallied back to the truck on the rim. #effit

Besides the obvious of trying to drive so rocks can't cut the sidewalls, any rubber tire is susceptible to this damage. That said tires made for rocky terrain do seem to be more durable and resistant to sidewall cuts. ( STI Roctane XD) for example, but thier tread isn't the best in deep mud.

Aside from tire choice it is smart to carry a Sidewall Slug or two. They can usually get you back going in a few minutes assuming you carry a small air compressor. The Sidewall Slug will usually hold up to the remainder of your ride until you can properly repair or replace the tire. See below:

I'm a believer in this product. @JACKAL, and a buddy and I went riding last weekend and towards the beginning of the day, @JACKAL had a fairly decent sidewall cut. He was cursing along and it hit hard enough to knock the tire off the bead. @JACKAL was digging out a dozen plugs getting ready to...

This was my machine we used it on and it held up for an additional 60 mile ride and was still holding air 4 days later.

The smaller orange piece with the bolt head goes in through the cut, then you pull it tight against both sides of the sidewall using the cable inside the bolt, finally tighten it into position with the small nut to make an airtight seal and air up tire. If satisfied with position cut the excess bolt threads off with a pair of side cuts next to the nut you just tightened.

triple layer kevlar sidewalls.

$275 for the cheapest tire I saw on the site and they went up to nearly $400 a tire. I can buy a lot of replacement tires for that difference in cost.

I know 2 people who bought into the kevlar radial tires and both experienced more flats than they did with the regular radial tires. So may not make a difference. @Hondasxs you care to add your kevlar flat experiences?

Your best defense always will be paying attention to the rocks in your path and selecting a line where your sidewall doesn't hit the protruding sharp edges.

Were they using MRT tires?

I see.
The P500 doesn't really want to run 40 mph ... anywhere...ever. Not even on a freshly paved highway going downhill. 🤣
I do love the thing though.

I am running the MRT tires with Kevlar in them and they have been really good! I run fast and hard usually and they have taken zero sidewall cuts....800 miles of Ride Royal Blue and Tackett Creek! Been on most of the hard trails. They stick like mad and handling is awesome! They are also pretty light. The only complaint is they will wear faster than lots....but I have zero other complaints....well I do wish they weren't as expensive!)
