Levo Turbo 27.5 plus sized tyre change.

[Jayl71]

Hi all,
I'd like to change the tyres on my new bike over to some better suited to the riding I'm going to be doing ie roads and soft trails/woodland paths.
It has got 3.0 fat tyres on at the moment and would like to fit something which rolls faster as I will be using it more for commuting on initially rather than for off road.
The schwalbe g-one allround in 2.8 as caught my eye but I'm unsure if they will be strong enough for the extra weight of an Ebike?
Can anyone recommend me any suitable tyres please?
Or let me know what I should be looking for and what to watch out for before I purchase any.
Many thanks .

Had a quick look and found this
E-Bike Tyres | Online bike shop Bikester.co.uk
G-One is listed plus some others for e mtb.
Big Ben looks good but I am biased as I rode Big Apples on my gravel bike all winter and really rate them.
Think I would go direct to Schwalbe web site and see what they have listed under e bike.

If you are doing soft trails/road you don't need an EBike tire. Any MTB tyre will take the "extra weight" of an ebike. They have to handle a wide range of rider weights on a non ebike.

My Ebike came with 40 mm rims and 3.0 tires. I still have my front but traded my rear for Maxxis Rekon 2.8 and i love it. Without a car i pedal 12 kms to the trails, play in the wood for 1-3 hrs than pedal back those 12 kms. That tire rolls well and has enough grip for single tracks and fire roads. I will buy it again. It is for any bike with rims of proper width.

My 2018 Levo came with 27.5 x 2.8 Spesh Butcher Grids.
I changed them to 2.6 Spesh Eliminators, Grid on front and Black Dimond rear.

They roll great and grip great and I have nothing but praise for the strength of the black Dimond casing on the back.

Here’s a shot after 2600km on the rear.
And a shot of an old Butcher and new Eliminator.
