CST BFT (Big Fat Tire) 26x4.0

CST's BFT (Big Fat Tire) is a widely fitted original-equipment tire on 26x4 fat e-bikes and one of the cheapest ways to replace a worn one. The tread is a medium-knob all-rounder: it handles hardpack, sand and snow acceptably and hums a bit on pavement, which is the normal deal with fat tires. Wire-bead versions are the common, inexpensive ones; folding versions exist at a higher price. If you spend most of your time on the road, a smoother fat tire will roll easier, but for mixed use the BFT is a sensible default.

Best for: Replacing stock tires on 26x4 fat-tire e-bikes · Mixed pavement and trail riding · Budget-minded riders
