how big are the thorns, if there like as big as a small nail then the slim isnt going to work, ur gonna have to put patches or plugs in the tires, other than that i have no clue on how to prevent the thorns in the tires

Id use tire plugs, they work better than slime. Ive tried both from experience.  |

get airless, skid steer style tires  , with the shitty blsater shocks, it should make it a half decent ride. |
