Multi-Terrain Tire Advice?

[Cybersnow]

We have 2e-bikes that we ride around the mountains in Idaho. The bikes came with relatively smooth tires that do great on the asphalt roads but perform poorly on dirt/gravel/sandy roads and easy to medium trails. I would like to change the tires to multi terrain ( if there is such a thing) tires over the winter. Something that is designed for both roads and easy/light trails. As some of our rides are long and remote extra protection is a real plus. I am more than willing to spend $200 a bike. Bike tire specs are 27.5x2.1 (up to 2.15 or 2.2) and 27.5x2.4.

Check out the Hurricane tires from Schwalbe. They are relatively smooth and hard in in the center and become progressively more aggressive and soft at the edges. They come in four levels of flat protection so when comparing prices make sure you are comparing the same thing. They can also have a reflective stripe or not. Also think in terms of ETRTO for sizing.

Many hybrid options out there. I've had good luck on a mix of dry surfaces with the 27.5 x 2.35" Specialized Crossroads Armadillo, but no experience in wet conditions.

The Armadillo part refers to their highest level of puncture protection.

The tread pattern is a good one to consider for your purposes — very low-relief strip down the center for pavement with moderate side lugs for dirt. The lugs engage as the center strip sinks into softer surfaces.

Fine on damp packed sand, but too narrow for deep loose sand.

I'm very happy with my Schwable Al Grounder.

Not 100% on subject but I have Specialized Carless Whisper tires on my 20" cargo bike and they (Specialized) make great tires. Very durable, nice grip in all conditions and great puncture resistance. Just noticed Specialized tires mentioned above and giving my 2cents.

Thanks, am transitioning locations but will check all of these out. Wife’s bike is 27.5x2.1” but the company claims you can go to 1.5“ ok but 2.0” is touchy. My bike is the 27.5x4” tired bike. I am not having as much trouble as the wife.
