Fit was a little loose, but they work fine so far! : TWO RIDE UPDATE
This review is for the 27.5" tire size.I recently bought a mid-drive ebike here on Amazon and am looking forward to frequent rides once winter finally relinquishes its icy grip on the local area.I did take the bike out for one ride and liked it, though I nearly went down on some ice, and I had to carefully clean the bike when I got home because of ice melt scattered everywhere. One thing I didn't like about the bike is the motocross-bike style knobby tires it has. I only ride on pavement at this time, so I don't appreciate the extra drag and vibration from the stock tires.I really wanted smooth tires with no knob tread, but my bike has 2" wide rims and the few smooth tread tires I found for a 27.5" wheel were for narrower rims. After reading other reviews on these tires, I decided to try them.As my review title states, these tires where an easy fit, suspiciously easy, even! One more note: I am not a professional bike mechanic, but I am a DIYer and spent a lot of time as a teen and young man wrenching on my BMX bike, as I often broke it and modified it. So, I am familiar with tasks such as tire installation.I've got another hub driven ebike with narrow rims that I was able to get some smooth tires for, and I had to fight the tires onto the rims! By stark contrast, I was able to literally DRAPE these tires over the wheels of my mid-drive ebike!I was agog with shock, and literally stood there looking at these tires draped on the rims for several minutes, wondering how I was going to get the beads to seat properly!While I thankfully have never blown a tire or tube during installation, friends of mine have, so once I have a tire on a rim, I inflate the tube to 8-10 PSI to get the tire's bead pressed to the rim. Once I ensure the bead is uniformly set (sometimes a thump to a section of the tire is needed) I inflate the tube to 20 PSI to further seat the bead. If the tire passes this inspection, I'll inflate to the target pressure.I had to inflate the tubes to 25 PSI to get these tires to cleanly press up to the rim! This made me nervous enough that I inflated the tire in small increments afterwards, but my fear was in vain; both tires' beads cleanly seated to the rim, and I was able to inflate the tubes to 55 PSI with no issues at all.I do have a cheap bike roller stand in the basement I keep my bikes in, and I did a before and after comparison. Pedaling my ebike with the stock tires on was so loud that my father, who was upstairs, stormed downstairs to confront me; He thought I was running a two-stroke gas engine in the basement! That's how loud the stock tires are on the roller stand.With these tires fitted, I noticed it's markedly easier to pedal the bike, and much less noisy too! I really wish winter would finally give way to spring here! I will definitely update this review once I'm able to get my mid-drive ebike out and start racking up miles on it!But for now, I wanted to share my experience with installing these tires. Despite the initial loose fit, the tires are solidly mounted and initial testing on the roller stand hints at promising improvements! Again, I will update this review once I get some miles on these tires, but as of right now, I'm satisfied with these tires and the change in ride quality I've noticed!UPDATE: Winter continues to mockingly linger where I live, but a few fair and dry days have passed since installing these tires, so I've taken my e-bikes out for a couple of quick rides.These tires don't have quite as much traction as I expected. Pedaling down a road to my house, I was surprised when I pedaled hard and easily blew past a speed of 25 MPH....which is the speed limit for that road. Slowing down, I reveled that such a speed burst probably wouldn't have been possible with the bike's stock tires. As I thought this, I came up to a car parked ON the road. The driver was chatting with a pedestrian that was standing on the divider line, and the car's engine was turned off.I passed the car on its passenger side. There were three people riding single-wheeled balance boards in front of the car, and once of them swerved right in front of me.I'd tested the tires I'd installed on my other e-bike in panic braking scenarios, but I forgot to do that with these tires. The bike these tires are on has hydraulic disc brakes, and I yanked the levers hard. At the initial pull, both front and rear tires locked up. The front tire immediately freed and began spinning, slowing me down, but the back tire remained locked up until I snapped out of my panicked reaction and began pumping the rear brake lever. I stopped literally inches from the board rider, and he was none the wiser until another board rider told him to get out of the way. By the time he heard the other rider, turned and saw me, I'd come to a complete stop. It was fortunate that I had, because his reaction was to stop and stare at me dully until he realized he'd cut me off.To end this little story, the rider turned to the one that had told him to move and suggested to them that maybe they shouldn't be riding on the road. I quickly pedaled away before anyone else blocked my path.Now, the other tires I installed on my other e-bike demonstrated superior grip and stability during panic braking, and I complacently thought that these tires would too. Next time I'm able to go on a ride (I'm once again surrounded by snow and ice as I write this update) I'm going to spend more time testing these tires and acclimating to their behavior in certain scenarios.In closing this update, I can say these tires don't provide the grip I expected, but they do have much lower rolling resistance than the bike's stock tires, and that was mostly what I wanted from these tires, so I won't be changing my five-star score. If these tires prove skittish in future tests and rides, I may drop a star, but this review will again be updated to reflect that.

Great tires
I use these tires on my ebike and they are wonderful. Lasted a lot longer than other tires I have had in the past. I'm an avid rider, I ride my ebike anywhere in town I need to get to. Definitely worth the money. Where else can you get a good set of tires that has great performance as these. I'll definitely keep buying them in the future.

Easy transition
The tires that originally came with my bike weren’t bad, they just didn’t last as long as I would have hoped. For context I use this bike to commute to and from work so around 30 miles daily.When the rear tire eventually exploded because Philadelphia roads tend to be terrible and full of random debris, I ordered these replacements, delivery was fast, and installation was a breeze. First impression upon road testing, performance felt better than the originals, and was able to maintain stability at higher speeds. I thought it was not going to fit due to user error mostly, but once I figured it out it fit like a glove. So far its a 10/10 would buy again, but I will remain cautiously optimistic for at least the next 30 days.

Cheap tire
I got the set of tires for my 26 inch mountain bike. I got them because of the Kevlar lining. I ride my bike 26 miles total a day. From the day I put them on I had nothing but trouble. If I didn't get a flat daily, I was still having to air up my tire because of a slow leak. The side wall of them is so thin that if the psi gets too low it let's the tube get pinched and that causes even more issues. Instead of keeping them and going through this mess daily I returned them and got a set of ebike rated tires that cost 2x what these did, but perform 10x better. Don't learn the hard way like I did, you get what you pay for.

Good tires
We have ridden 20 miles on these tires and are happy with our purchase.

Meh
Tube that come with the kit is junk and blew out first ride. Replaced it with a heavy one and it seems okay. The tube is skinny and looks like it would fit a 36” wheel not a 29”. These are way over priced for the quality.

They look like they will work out great
They went on really easy and look like they will be great for the trails that we have around here
