Fat Bike street tires

[JCHobbes]

The only fat bike street tires I like are on alibaba. The problem is the only size every company offers is 20 x 4.0 or 20 x 4 1/4, and have to buy 500 tires. Right now I only need two of this size, and two 26 x 4.0 or 4 1/4. One supplier is sending me samples of a flame pattern tire, 20 x 4 1/4. Photo is attached. They said I would have to pay for mold and buy 500 tires to have them made in 26 x 4 1/4.

If enough people are interested in this tread pattern, in either size / both sizes, I would be willing to work on buying the M.O.Q for 20 x 4 1/4 and paying for molds to make the flame pattern in 26 x 4 1/4. I have other projects planned that will use four 20 x 4 1/4 tires. Also attached is photo of my quadracycle project that I need the tires for. I zip tied the rims to the frame to get an idea of how it will look. I have recumbent / trike hubs that need to be laced into the rims. The quad is made from furniture grade pvc pipe and will have Bafang 48 volt, 1000 watt mid drive motor.

I am communicating with another supplier about 20 x 4 and 26 x 4 double wall aluminum rims if peeps are interested in those also. I had to buy 20 x 4 and 26 x 4 rims from Mongoose to re-lace with my recumbent hubs.

Did you try AliExpress for the tires?

Vee Rubber Speedsters would work well. They come in 20" and 26"

Heavy, cheap fat tires suck, regardless of what you're putting them on. Get a nice rolling tire and you'll be happier in the end.

You don't need double wall fat rims. Plenty of single wall rims out there that can take serious abuse and set up tubeless easily.
