Tyre choice

[Fx1]

What is everyone riding?

Seen the 2.6 e wild mentioned. How much does this affect the BB height and geo?

What would you pair this with upfront?

Seen the eddy current comes in 2.8 and 2.6 but weigh a lot.

Do ebikes need such aggressive treat patterns? My rocket Ron's work great on my enduro as I dont do mud.

Also what's everyone opinion on rimpact or cushcore?

Tyre choice are likes saddles. I happy with the dhf that came with the bike. I ruined the dhr first ride out I bought an other and the next two rides I got punctures on the dhr. I am using ratbite inserts and mic-off sealant I had to plug the rear twice now. I have purchased a Eddie current 2.8 which should ba arriving today. I have high Hope's for it and the reviews all seem good apart from the weight. I let yea know after trying the Eddie current as long as it keeps air in I not bothered about the 1400grams. I was thinking of getting the wbt vigilante as I had good experience with this before.

I have gone for the 2.6 and 2.4 Michelin setup. As well as rimpact.

Hopefully arrive before weekend and then get it installed.

After running both ewild 2.6 and eddy 2.8 rear, definitely ewild 2.6, eddy had little trail feel and not good for cornering, weight very noticeable. Running flip chip in high with ewild.

I was fine with the stock 2.8 minion dhr exo+ for trail feel, liked it, but it wasn't enough for hits and wore out in a couple of months, sidewalls on it breakdown fast. Wish they made it in DD case.

Also tire pressures, the whole low pressure kick IMO is not good for ebikes and their weight especially in the rear. If I run at 20psi or similar not only do I feel like I'm riding on a wet noodle but you WILL hit rim even on tame trails. 27-30 psi now, no inserts.

Overall impressed with the rimpacts - only issue I had was with one valve which wouldnt seal to the rim properly and which led me to find out that trailside repairs with a rimpact insert are not something you want to have to carry out often.
