counterpoint: try a bunch of BMX tires that come in wacky colors but may not stand up to actual mileage. Then report back.
I want pink camo tires because obviously, but not if they wear out instantly

i actually did that for a few years and let me tell you… bad idea!
the big issue is that they do hold up to mileage, just ride like turds

My limited time on the GT Pool tires agrees with that. Sturdy, looked awesome (v important), were absolutely no fun to ride. Would do them on a turdly ebike tho.

ahh yeah that makes sense. My longjohn came with what may literally be moped tires, and switching to the comparatively light and supple Big Apple Plus was nice.
Black tires are also more grippy than not black tires
IRC Siren Pro is the best 20" tire on the market.
I have not used it with a tube, but setup tubeless, it’s been 100% flawless service on both my small front wheels.
Big Bens: Okay, kinda sluggish for a non-ebike
Big Apples: Had these on the Katu and really liked them
Neither of which have a matching 650b version which seems like a failure on Schwalbe’s part.
I’m not a fan of Powerblocks in either size I ran them (406 and 26"), thought the Big Bens felt better in that smaller size atmo. The PB felt sensitive to pressure and squirmy in the turns.
Kind of surprising. This is on a Tern GSD. We’re always at max weight/turbo mode, and I don’t maintain my chains at all, but this is only 700 miles.
Anyone got a recommendation for a good replacement? My priority is basically reliability over everything else.
Shimano linkglide shit?
Tell us about the Kubota back there
