Hi! Excuse my ignorance as I do not know much about bikes – I am just looking to get a decent quality set of studded bike tires for commuting to work in Anchorage in the wintertime that are also fit for riding over frozen lakes and greenbelt trails. I am seeking advice on if these tires are compatible with my fat tire bike. The rims of my bike are labelled "Weinmann HL 80 ETRTO 559×74." I think they are compatible as 74mm width rim should is within the claimed range. I just want to confirm before I make a purchase. Thanks

Yeah, they’ll fit fine. The Dillinger 4s will be a bit more narrow than the original tires that came with your bike, but they’ll work fine. You could fit the Dillinger 5s if you want. I run studded 5s in Anchorage in the winters but know plenty of people than run studded 4s. The 4s will be better on hard or icy conditions. The 5s will be better in softer conditions.
