these are on closeout at cycle gear for <100$ each - i was wondering how they perform.

i currently have a set of D208's on my xb9 and the rear is naturally showing more wear than the front. can i get by with just replacing the rear in the future?

i was thinking of just getting a rear with the closeout price and save it for after 1500 miles when the rear is due for replacement...

Yes you can just replace the rears as needed. I get about 2:1 rear:front replacement proportions. I believe that some have gotten good wear out of the 220s. If nothing else, you can never go wrong having a spare tire laying around.
Do some searches on here about tires. There have been discussions on the 220s.

Not sure $100 is a deal for a front D220.
