I heard these stock tires for quite some time but now that I’m doing longer distance trips with more weight on the bike they seem to be wearing out faster (or I’m just putting way more miles on them). I’m looking for something that has pretty little rolling resistance, but that’s not the most important thing. I’ve never actually bought brand new fat bike tires so I don’t really know what’s good and what’s not.

I am a big fun of Jumbo Jim tires/ they’ve mostly lived on snow during winter, and aside from sheer ice, and really loose snow they’ve been great. Dirt rolling resistance is not bad either.
On the other hand, I tried maxxis minion fbf and fbr tires, and unless you mount them on a ebike, the drag is awful.
