Faster smooth tires for Lectric XP

[igotan]

Great bike! I have put on 700miles last month, mostly on my 12mile one-way commute on smooth asphalt.
My question is what is the fastest smooth tire that would fit the XP?
Would the Kenda K-Rad - 20" x 3.3" tire fit?

No, the hub motor is on a fixed wheel size, and that size is 20x4.

Lots of people have gotten smoother road tires to replace, just look for the same size 20x4...Ive seen members with Kendas and Vees

Thanks @ki11a
the Vee Tire 20x4.0 Apache FattySlick looks great but too pricey at $cad 140

Amazon.ca

Kenda Krusade - 20" x 4" does not seems smoother

Kenda Krusade - 20" x 4"

Check out these...Vee Speedsters 20x4 Ive seen a few members with these and say they are pretty good.

Heres a link for the Vee Slicks, they are 70 bucks a tire...and you can also you tubeless with them, not bad.

I ended buying Kendra Flame 20”x3”. They are quite cheap at cad$37 or US$27, max 40psi

Just a word of warning - if you have a lectric xp2, the 20x4 tire will rub against your chain (see photo). I bought a Vee Tire Fat Bike Tube 20x4.0 Light 40mm Schrader Valve from BicycleBuys.com - $50/each. The tire seems nice, but the x4 vs. the x3 causes the tire to bulge out & contact the chain. Any ideas on reducing this? I have them inflated to 18lbs now but will try dropping that to 10 to see if that helps.
