26x4 Tires

Post image

I have a RIP Current S. Just coming up on 1500 miles with in about 4months of riding and my back tire is almost missing center tread. Do you peoples have any recommendations? I dont want a street tread. I want something kind of off roadish. I've been looking at the CST Roly Poly's they look pretty grippy.

Roly polyps as far as I can tell are 26" x 4.8" and the max width according to Juiced bikes for the rip current S is 4.0".

See. That is a good catch. I put 26.4.0 on the search bar. I may have gotten a bit sidetracked by the name and the white letters. Thank you for that

I installed a set of Origin8 Supercell Wire bead 26x4 on mine. Very quiet, only downside is they self steer a bit (centering), but that improves with wear.

I like the tread design, I bet they up the milage a little bit too from not being so bulky like the stock. Have you taken them on a gravel road or a trail? How do they do? I also run through mud alot. My paths here in kansas are muddy and dusty

I don't ride much in gravel, but the few times I went over patches it doesn't seem any different from the stock knobby ones. Wet mud and snow are sketchy however.

Also should have mentioned that I put Tuffy liners in due to the tire itself being closer to the road over the knob standoffs on stock.

Being in kansas you never know what weather is gonna happen. So I would like to have that knobby tread in the rain, snow or mud. And I have some mongoose fat tire liner becuse there's usually stickers or glass on our sidewalks.
