Tires & Tubes Need some Advice

[tym]

Need to replace my 20 by 4 ebike tires. Lots of Blacktop and Gravel Roads. Not sure if I want Nobby type or Grove Tread. Seems like the Grove Threads are move expensive compared to the knobby type. Im kinda leaning this way.

Hycline Ebike Replacement Fat Tire: 20x4.0 Inch Heavy Duty Folding Electric Fat Tires, All-Terrain High-Density Bicycle Tires for Street or Trail Riding​

Looks like a Hundred for the pair, and they give you the tubes. What do you guys think??

Got a link?

Personally after a lot or research when I get tires I'm going with Ultraverse or Heb Allscape tires. Which look like the same tires with different names,

They look pretty solid take a look on amazon for the ones I mentioned.

Those will be very heavy, and therefore an extra power drain.

Look for street tread tires instead; I'd start at Fat Tire House:

I did go ahead and got the tires, they should be here tomorrow. I went with directional tread, and a thicker tire. I have seen some say this type of tire will eat more battery, others say no they dont. So I will take a look at that next week, see if its true, or not true. For me, its really not that big of a deal, I carry a spare battery with me all the time. Of course I have to kinda over due things. I bought a liner for my tires, that is supposed to help from getting punctures, and I may put some flat out in my tire as well, Not sure.

Here is what I ended up getting, see how they work out. If not I will just swap them out with a knobby type of tire like I was originally gonna get.

Looks like the same tires I posted about under yet another name. Not at all a surprise. I hope they work well for you! I second Flatout....

I'll take a better tire over a lighter tire every time! A little slower a little more battery use SO WHAT compared to dealing with flats!

Im so mad at myself. So yea, I put on new tires, just wish I would of went ahead and replaced the brake pads

I've been wondering how many miles a set of bike brake pads last? How many miles on yours? Do they need replacing or do you just wish you had done it while you had it apart?

 

[tym]

I have close to a thousand miles on my bike. No, they dont need replaced yet, BUT I do wish I would of got a set and just replaced them while I had the tires off the bike. So I just kinda hope that if anyone is considering putting new tires on your bike, replace the brake pads. There about 15 bucks for both sets. If my set last this summer, I will be replacing them next summer, I just have to figure out what pads I need.

After reading reviews of my tires, I know they say run 20 psi. I saw someone say run them at 25 they seem to handle better. So I will see how that goes, then maybe drop them to 20 to see if there is a difference in how they handle. My thing is how they do on gravel.

I ran a super cell8 on my fat tire commuter, it is a fast tire, and long lasting. I put 6000 miles on the below rear tire, the changed it out.
