There are two major considerations when looking at choosing the best fat bike tire for your bike, and these come down to compatibility. The frame size and width to ensure the tire can spin freely and is not too tight or wide for your frame. The second is the width of your rim, a wider tire requires a wider rim. You should always keep proof of postage and we advise you to use a ‘signed for service’ when returning goods. Due to their overall size, fat bike tires are never going to be light, but reading the overall weight carefully could make a difference to your riding. Lighter tires roll easier and will save energy over long distances but could compromise on protection, resulting in more punctures.

This is a system of tire mounting (to the wheel). All the tires on the list above are clincher. Clinchers are the most common mounting system. You can find more about clincher tires here. a) If we have sent you the incorrect bicycle, we will cover the cost of collection and delivery of the correct model.All Wheels & Tyres, Wheels - Complete, Wheels - Fat/Plus (8) All Wheels & Tyres, Wheels - Complete, Wheels - Fat/Plus (8 products) For any wheeled vehicle, tire choice is critical. Intended use, durability, and weight all factor in to what kind of rubber you want on the road (or snowy trail). Indeed, when it comes to fat bikes, tires are arguably the most important component decision you'll make. Width, tread pattern, budget, and the ability to set-up tubeless are all hugely important factors when making a buying decision - and having fun. Here then are some (but certainly not all) of the top fat bike tires on the market today. If you wish to return your bike to us please keep it in the box it arrived in and call us on 01772 644340 and we will arrange a collection. Fat bike tires go all the way up to 5” wide, which make for some seriously fat tires. Although a 5” wide tire may be slower and heavier, it will easily ride through very loose and soft surfaces like slush and soft sand.

Folding bead is a more modern technology that is lighter weight. It is known as a folding bead as without the wire the tire can be folded for transport. Going as low as possible is the name of the game with fat bikes and between 8-10psi is the common goal. With the air volume being so big, a pressure change of 1psi can make a huge difference so it’s worth experimenting to find your ideal setup. Tire bead is the term for the edge of a tire that sits on the wheel. The edge of the tire, known as the bead of a tire, is designed to sit within a groove on the wheel. When the tire is properly inflated to the correct air pressure (each tire will specify the correct air pressure), the bead slots firmly into that groove. This holds the tire in place on the wheel.

The link below is a guide on how and where to measure your frame to ensure you know what size tires will fit with your frame. Tires come in a variety of sizes. The ones reviewed here are either 26”, 27.5”, or 29”, which refers to the diameter of the tire. Each bike is specifically sized and this is not something you can change. Your bike will have one of these sizes and you need to look for a tire that is that specific size. You can either measure the current diameter of your tires, or take your bike into a bike shop and they will be able to tell you what size it has.

This term refers to the chunks of rubber that are raised from the surface of the tire. Knobs often come in different sizes, shapes, and patterns. These are what give the tire grip and they are designed to perform on specific surfaces. Deciding on a tread pattern comes down to how and where you intend to use the bike. As a rule, tires with smaller and slimmer tread patterns tend to roll fast, therefore are more efficient over longer rides but limits traction. More aggressive tires cut the ground and generate grip on testing terrain, which provides more grip when climbing up loose and slippery surfaces or when cornering in mud. Assessing your regular riding locations is a must before choosing your next tread pattern. Rim Width–the rim, which is the circular part of your wheel, comes in different widths which is compatible with certain tire widths – so ensure your rim and tire choice are compatible. Frame Size And Width–Every frame is different and for the fat bike tires reviewed above, you will need a fat bike specific frame. Additionally, not every fat bike has the capability to fit the fattest of fat bike tires. So ensure you measure your fat bike before purchasing tires to avoid disappointment.
