Not sure what you mean? You want a different tire than the original type that comes on the Schwinn OCC Bikes? They are available several places online.
And how did you shread it?

Ebay "schwinn OCC tire" like $20 brand new I believe.

i would like a different tire
im getting a heavy duty tube anyway
because the bike goes faster than it normally does, and i weigh a good bit,
the tire constantly needed air. i couldnt even get a whole ride out of it
eventually, flat tire,
with the chopper, the tire is really soft, and comes off the rim incredibly easy
it came off twice, the first time i patched the tube, tire wasnt damged
second time the bead is ripped down the the steel wire
the ones on ebay were all 40+ with shipping
its the 20 x 4.25, the bigger one, and cost more than the small one

ok whatever....anyway dude if ya look around this site (I'll give you a hint "choppersus" preceeded and follwed by the same letters n such as every other website out there)you will find another site that has lots of chopper and occ parts including those tires for 26 bux, and look into the way that bike is set up as far as the rake of the forks and the drag of the tail, it's the set up combined with the speed, or more miles faster, not necessarily how fast the bike is going, that eats up that back tire! I went thru the same thing, tire was bald by the time I got the engine broke in!
