Hello!

I was checking my bike before going out on a ride and I found a small rip in the tire(the orange thing is the tire liner I put in the tire). I wanted to know if it is safe to ride with this. If not is there anyway I can fix this?

The second picture shows some wear marks on the tire. I have about 2000 miles on them. Is this much wear common? When should I replace them?

BTW. The tires are Michelin Oriums.

The third picture is of my old tires. I retired them because the rear got a small hole in the side wall. When I pump the tube up inside, it stick out of the hole. This has already caused me a flat. Is there anyway I can fix this?

If I can't fix either of these tire can someone please recommend some cheap tires to me. I have been collecting money for some wheels for a long time, and I don't want to use the money on tires.
