I think the knobby tires wear out too fast I'm going to get the regular tread ones next time
@Mark-qv4bn7 ай бұрын
Same. Most knobbies are paper thin. Street tires are way thicker rubber. 700 miles on my fat tire folder, tires were past the wear indicators. I don't ride in the rain or off road. Knobbies are incredibly noisy, and annoying imo.

My knobby tires were done after 700 miles. Went with slicks and the ride is much smoother. Time will tell if they last longer.
@Mark-qv4bnАй бұрын
@daxc1972 They will. My Chao Yang knobbies are very loud, and flat easily. I'll be changing to motorcycle tires before winter.
@imacmill9 күн бұрын
Have you paid off the huge bank load you had to take out to pay for the tires? Where I live you, you can buy automobile tires for close to the same price as a slick or knobby.

My bike uses knobby tires 20x4. Never had a flat in 3500 miles. Brand CST but I have to change them the lifetime is out
@BusdatheadАй бұрын
Yes if you like knobby tires be prepared to replace them every few months , I'm @ 240lbs. and found my tires were needing replaced about every 3 months because my bike is my only transport and on average $70-$80 was too expensive for me , cutting costs was why I decided to only ebike in the 1st place . I've been using a set of Chao Yang street tires that I picked up on ebay for about $50 a piece and have over 3000 miles on them , glad I went ahead and bought a 2nd set before they ran out .

The major issue I found using slick type tires is you have to watch out for any loose sand or gravel in cornering at certain speeds, the bike can slide right from under you. I prefer knobbies. 😁

I just ran my knobby tires till they became almost slick. They work great for pavement riding. Had about 4500 miles before they got that way but I like the way they are now. I still get to run softer air ride too.
@jakereal36047 ай бұрын
Hi Tedwalker What brand of tires do you have that got 4500 miles? Im in NYC (Queens) and while we don't have the best roads I can say that so far between both ebikes I have rode about 2700 miles and only got ONE flat. Keep in mind im very careful and always on the look out for broken glass and debris!!

@flolou849611 ай бұрын
You seem to have wisdom regarding Ebike tires, so one big concern I have about Ebike Fat Tires is the treadlife seems really short in many cases. I really don't like the idea of having to change the tires because the treads are wearing out after less than 1000 miles. Most likely the Ebike Im going to choose won't have puncture resistant tires anyway, so I was thinking about the perfect Ebike tire and I think that would be a tire with above average treadelife (from long city commuting on paved streets) and be either tubeless (which is almost non existant in Fat tire form) or comes with a puncture resistant innertube: (any thoughts anyone on my comment) ?
@jakereal36047 ай бұрын
Im glad you mentioned this! My Ecotric 26" fat tire Ebike has about 2200 miles and I'd say the rear tire is about 55-60% worn and the front about 35-40% worn. I also have the Aniioki AQ 177 Pro Max and its an early one with no name tires and the rear looks like it is almost worn down at about 650 miles! For some reason I think my bike was a "return" and not new and had some miles on it. It didnt click with me until I noticed the tire wear in the rear. Could be just cheap tires too not sure,

I agree but not just E-Bikes even regular bikes. Many ride around with under inflated tires. Both of my Ebikes call for about 20 PSI but I inflate them to 21.5-22 and never had an issue. I go a bit higher to get more range and also so I have to check the air pressure less frequently! As I know it goes down after a month or two by 1-3 PSI

The mountain tire is better in my opinion. It grips better and can handle wet ground. The “car” tires look to me as though there may be issues down the road. I’m in NYC so I’ll be stopping by Mr C’s Cycle for all my tire gears and repairs if necessary.

Open (knobby) tread has less traction in the rain and on other slick surfaces. Deep mud is about the only environment where knobs are preferred.

It took me about 55 years to learn this. I'm a daily ebike elderly rider. My new ebike has 300 miles, and it shows no noticeable wear yet. Yes, I will be installing motorcycle tires. But I dont need them until this winter. The knobbies are better in the winter, and dirt desert roads.
