Tires are a very subjective decision in the mountain bike or bike world for that matter. There isn't a mountain bike tire that's perfect but it is open to interpretation from person to person. Our friend Jean shares his experience with the Michelin E-Wild 27.5 x 2.6 Tubeless 33tpi rear tire. Check it out!

Overview

Well, what can I say? This Michelin E-Wild 27.5 x 2.6 33 TPI tubeless rear tire (Ebike specific!) is simply amazing, making a perfect match for E-Bikes especially when your E-Bike is not paired with a very robust wheelset! This tire in combination with CushCore totally transforms the bike. Now I don’t have to be picky and careful with my line choice while riding full gas haha, I can just smash anything that’s in my way without being worried to get a flat tire. In case I would eventually get one I wouldn’t mind as with Cushcore (also bought here) I would still be able to make it back home!

The Michelin E-Wild tire is really incredible its a very robust tire, which is not that heavy, it really stands because of there construction when you compare them to any similar product that other brands offer. The tire gives the bike an amazing amount of traction, which transforms into confidence and speed!!! Installation is pretty straight forward, much easier than tires from similar tires from other brands! With some patience and a couple of minutes you will be ready to go, it works great with any sealant as well! You will be rolling in no time and with a totally different feeling and handling from bike in no time!

With e-bikes, you can’t go cheap and you need to buy the best protection and “footwear” you can for rims giving you more durability of the wheelset. Also, more grip on track as you can lower the pressure on the tires without worrying. On the track, the feel that Michelin E-Wild gives you is of a more comfortable and softer feeling like a sort of dampening! I haven’t had punctures since I started using this tire! Also on this order, I bought a DT Swiss 350 front hub 32h 20mm thru-axle 6-Bolt Disc that was paired to my Enve M730 wheels, I ordered this so I was able to use my Fox 40 fork! This hub performs really well, installation is pretty standard, and quality of DT Swiss products it’s much more than proven. I wasn’t sure the hub would perform equally when paired to an e-bike and after several months of use and abuse haha, I’m pretty amazed at still having a trouble-free hub!
