I swapped to 2.8" Maxxis Minion tyres when I bought my e-bike a couple of years back as Schwalbe were not making what I wanted in the sizes required at the time. Being impressed with the grip & wear characteristics across a broad range of surfaces I put them on my regular bike too in 2.5/2.4" and have had trouble free riding on those two sets of tyres since.
The e-bike tyres finally wore out a couple of months back so I replaced them with Minions again, this time 2.6". Within half a dozen rides I got a snake bite puncture on the back, bit of a surprise as I was running 30psi with Rimpact inserts at the time. 2.8" went back on and still ok.
Move on a month, and I'm out on the new e-bike, three rides in and again a hole in the rear this time just by the rim.
They have all been Exo casings (the last one might be an Exo+) riding the in the same way at similar places.
Anyone else found the same with the more recent Minions?
Taken on board positive comments from other forum members and going to give Michelin E-Wild a go.
Bit of a shame as I'd had a good experience with Minions, pretty much fit and forget other than checking pressures.
