Origin8 Supercell Wire Bead Fat Bike Tires, 26 x 4.0, Black/Black

I was looking for a more "thorn resistance" tire for my Full Fat trike, and these are hard to beat. TPI 30 is tough. In fact, I'm running one tire without the tuffy liner and slime. No flats.These are fast rolling tires. Easily getting an extra 3 to 5 mph more speed with the same effort. Quiet...real quiet.Great road tire. A little self steer even on the trike, for the 1st 25 miles or so, then it straightened right out. Just keeps getting better. I'm running 12 psi all around. Nice ride. Works well on packed dirt and packed sand. 5 to 7 psi works in loose dirt and sand. Loose dirt or gravel on a incline is its down fall with a lot of tire spin.I'm really pleased with the tire. For most of what I ride on it works great. Even works if you have to leave the trail.A disclaimer. I have not used these in mud or snow. I think it would have to depend on the mud. If you have mud that's packs well, it would do well I thing. But other then that I wouldn't try it. I may keep the front tires on and see how they do in some snow, and put the Jumbo Jims back on the back. Hope this help

After 1820 miles on my Rad Rover 5 stock Kenda tires, I purchased these tires. This is what I noticed:These are quiet tires. If you dislike the loudness and noise from the Kenda tires, get these.They handle pretty well.They don’t tend to grab on the edges, which may be good or bad depending on the terrain you are riding.They handle bumpy large gravel really well.They are more buoyant, and have a bit of a cushioning effect. So the ride is smoother.All this said, these tires are a very different ride experience than the Kenda tires. The Kenda’s do have some advantages over these like steep trail riding stability. I miss that in these tires.The Kenda tires also have a reflective strip that makes them more visible for night driving. It would be great if these tires had that in a pattern similar to its tread pattern.I don’t know if there is a company making a tire that combines the elements of both types of tires.I really like these tires, though I miss some items the Kenda’s have. If you don’t do steep trail riding and mostly ride on roads and paths, you’ll probably love these.

I bought one of these for the front of my Rip Current S. Much quieter and smoother than the stock tire. After installing I inflated it to 15 psi and rode for five or six miles to get the tube adapted to it's new home - noticed a lot of 'self steer'. When I got back home I inflated it to 20 and most of the self steer went away. After 25 miles it still might turn a little faster than the stock tire.Works well on pavement and hard packed trails. I wouldn't want to run it on a trail with a lot of mud, or in snow or ice - but that is not the job of my ebike anyway.If I have any issues with durability or lifespan, I'll come back and update this. Right now I have maybe 25 miles on it and everything seems fine.

So far, this tire is all they claim it to be including the slight auto steer when new. The thing I noticed most about the tire is the quietness and how smooth they are. On my original tires Kenda Juggernauts they were very noise and rough on smooth surfaces and very hard to peddle unassisted. The Kenda also has self-steer when run at lower psi. I also started developing flats. Hopefully the 30TPI rating of these will help in that department. These tires I can peddle unassisted, so rolling resistance is better. They absorb bumps nicely at the max rating. There is the slight auto steer but gets better the more you ride. I think it's from the tire being flattened and center of tire is formed from shipping. Once this memory is stretched out and ridden it gets better. Long term is to be decided but so far good.Update: 25 miles on tires and no noticeable self steer.

I wanted to replace the Kenda knobbies on my Aventon Aventure (e-bike) with something closer to a street tire. My wife’s Level has street tires and since we always ride together we tend to stick to paved roads or at least very smooth trails. Surprisingly there are very few options for a 26x4 tire right now. Lots of options for 26x2.25 or 20x4 but just not much for these larger ones. I’ve been watching the price of these Origin8 tires all winter and grabbed them when the price was at it’s lowest of the year. They shipped from separate warehouses but arrived the same day - 2 days to my house. Very large boxes, but since they are the wire bead version I appreciated that they didn’t fold them into a smaller box.Tires were fine when unboxed and I quickly got to work changing out the OEMs for these along with new inner tubes (Mongoose tubes also from here on Amazon). I had left my tire levers at work in my other bike’s bag so I made due with an insulated screwdriver to ease the bead over the wheels. Both tires fit perfectly and the beads were centered the first time - I still worked the beads as I slowly brought up the pressure from 3psi to 6psi, 10psi, and then up to 20psi (max rating for the tire per the stamp on the side). I gave each wheel a good spin while holding the skewers and they seemed pretty balanced and no wobbling.I mounted them up and I took my first ride on them fully expecting some self steer and wasn’t disappointed. I could definitely feel the bike fighting me both into the turns and then out of the turns. Basically the tires disagree with you when you are entering/exiting turns. On straight stretches they respond well and tracks nice. Other reviews have said this will settle down after you get a good 15-20 miles on them, but I only have about 5 on them so far. Still they feel like they might be calming down already - or else I’m just getting more used to it. I’ll try to update again once I get a good 50 miles on them. I’m keeping the tire pressure at the max (20psi) since I weigh 270 lbs but that is where I kept the OEM tires too.Visually they look great and still have that fun fat tire look to them while being much quieter when going 22-23mph on the road. Might even get a couple more miles per charge, but normally I charge up once I hit about 25-30 miles anyways so I don’t think that’ll alter my normal charging routine. I did compare the Kenda tires to these new Origin8 tires when they were both removed and the Origin8 tires have significantly thinner sidewalls on them. If I’m on the road all the time then it hopefully won’t be a factor but for some folks it might be important to know that.Overall I’m happy with them. I do hope the self-steering fades as I break them in but even if it doesn’t I’d still keep them mounted. I do wish the price was a little lower, but they were at the lowest they’ve been in a year so I guess I can’t complain too much.
