From Fat Tire Knobby's to....

[Nvreloader]

Well Guys,
It's time to put new shoes on the Wart Hog bike,
have over 2800 miles of hard trail riding on the 26" x 4.5 OEM's tires and they are gone..

I want to go to a semi heavy Hiway tread in the center with knobs on the outside edges,
this is for 26" x 4"/3" wide tires, for the front and close spaced knob's on the rear..
This bike spends 90%+ off road trail riding and rest on paved roads.

I found some some tires that fit, but they are not made/stocked any more,
so on the hunt for some new one's.

Ya, I know, there's probably less than a half dozen of us the ride FT bikes...here,
but I'll ask anyway.....

The question, I don't understand is this = TPI counts for these tires,
they are saying a 30 Tpi count is stronger/more puncture proof than 120 Tpi count tire??
Just don't seem right.

Your thoughts and suggestions.....

If you put some tannus liners in, you won't have to worry about puncture. I have around 1,200mi on my 4.8's and never a puncture. I'll be interested to see what you go with, but I still have a ways to go on my tires.

Mr. Hyak
The only thing I have done to these OEM tires is add Flat Out and these HD tubes

I have liners ready, when I change to new tires, I'll probably add the Terry liners also.
I just got to find the best tire for where I ride.

Quite fond of the tires that came stock on Fättie (RST, not foldable). Over 3300 miles on the rear and only now needing replacement.

I can’t find these for sale, even though they were OEM’d by Juiced when I bought my bike. I’m simply not having all that white lettering on the ones I can order.

Let us know what you end up choosing.

Guys
This close to what I was looking at, not enough knobs on the outside edge of the tires.

After doing some more reading, these are going on the front:

Vee Tire Co E-Huntsman 26x3.50 Tough E-Bike Fat Tire

Sunlite Crusher 26x3.50 Fat Tire

www.thebikesmiths.com

and these are going on back:

Amazon.com

with Bakcou HD tubes and filled with Flat Out >Front/Rear.

Amazon.com

And I should be good to go for several thousand miles?

And I better check the rat holes finds,
between the air gun compressor and these new shoes, I might be getting kind'a low...
ymmv

Actually, it's counterintuitive but yes, a 30 TPI tire is generally more robust, because it has fewer thicker wires, therefore more rubber between them → better resistance to cuts and punctures.

Here is another Brand that I am looking at for the front tire choice:

Heavy Duty Black Cat 26x4.0 Fat Tire | eStar Rides

The 26x4 Heavy-Duty Tire is a high-performance solution for bicycles and e-bikes, designed to handle challenging terrains with ease.

and another in the race,

Vee Tire Co E-Huntsman 26x3.50 Tough E-Bike Fat Tire

Sunlite Crusher 26x3.50 Fat Tire

www.thebikesmiths.com

These are going on the back,

Amazon.com : YUNSCM 2-PCS 26" E-Bike Fat Tires 26x4.0/98-559 Compatible with 26X4 26 x 4.0 All-Terrain Directional Tread Bike Bicycle Tires （Y-1328） : Sports & Outdoors
