Hi ESFMs,
I'm looking for some good tire recommendations for 48v 1200w Ebike. I'm getting pretty tired of changing it every 6 months or so because of tread wear. and I spent an hour and a half changing my schwalbe big Apple tire because it started cracking on the side walls and was effecting my ride. My bike had this annoying justling feeling especially on the higher speeds. At first, I thought my wheel needed trying and then I noticed the cracks and a very subtle bubble around the valve.
I only just installed that schwalbe a few months ago. So, I was surprised when I discovered the side walls cracking. The tread still has a profound profile. I'm not too sure why it happened but I did notice that the side walls on these are thinner than other tires I'm used to. Almost papery.
I checked my tubes too. I use 2 Thorn resistant tubes in my back tire for picture proofing. They are still in excellent shape.
Anyway, my question is, what are your tire recommendations for my setup and usage needs?
I'm riding with 26" rims.
Mostly ride on roads, pavement and bitumen
Do a lot of food delivery with this bike and have a front pannier
It's also a rear hub motor 1200w and the 48v battery is a triangle type situated closer to the middle of the bike on too of the frame
And I probably average 50+ kms per day.
