Ok here is my suggestion
either run the tires at 10-15 PSI for the dirt or take them off and get new ones

Trailwings have the moniker 'Deathwings' by new dual sport riders, and maybe the nickname is unjustified, but there's a very good reason why. look at the tire, and look at the sidewalls of the tire. it's a solid, steep drop-off that looks like the grand canyon. what this means is that if you scrape up against any dirt whatsoever or the sand comes up and over the ridge of the tire tread, that dirt is now contacting and supporting smooth tirewall. this will happen all of the time if you lean even a little in dirt or mud. they are notorious for wiping out on wet surfaces because the tire's contact area drops like a rock when you start to lean and eventually, not even very much, it loses the ability to grip at a minor lean on any loose surface and it's less than you expect.

Can you learn to ride on Trailwings? Yeah, millions do. Much like you could learn to ride off-road on a cruiser or a street bike. It's harder, but if you're a new, then you don't need the deck stacked against you any more than it already is. Riding off-road is a tough thing to learn if you aren't doing drills every day. Don't ruin your experience with it over $150 worth of tires.


My advice is to bin/auction them and think real hard about what kind of riding you want to do. If you like the niche Trailwings are made for: 50/50 off-on road, I suggest a good chevron tire that has the tread that goes on the sidewall with teeth, like the Mitas E07. These things kick ass for how I use the bike (Mostly road, but oh look there's a trail). Some will say Dunlops and I'll say those are good too but I don't have experience with them. Others are probably going to say "It's not the tire that makes the rider, git gud retard" and they're right too.
