Did you buy Tundra specific hubs?

If not they'll never work.
2.4 Ardents. 😉

They'll defo not work with any 36 hole hubs then.
Anything else will be fine.

Can't help with the rim/hub question but what tyre for a fat bike is easier to answer as there's less choice.

At the end of the day it comes down to where you ride and the conditions but I've currently got a Nate up front and a Floater on the rear, If it gets wetter (if that's possible 🙂 ) I'll put a Nate on the back as well.

Bud/floater combo for me currently. Seems to be a good combo of grip/rolling and the bud looks awesome.

I've got Tundras on Fatsnos with Floaters in a Fatty. Works for me!

Husker Dus on Rolling Daryls are my GoTo selection. Nates are great for winter use though, either on the front only or in a pair. In both cases you'll want the 120tpi versions for comfort, grip and less rolling resistance.

Maxxis Mammoths look like a new, good option as do the Bontragers.

The answer may be here, a page found after hours searching in a little known website called google:

Whatever you do don't get those crappy Vee8 ones, utter pish.

I was going to buy some Nates off someone on the fatbike Facebook group but they are 27tpi so I think I'm just going to get floaters for the time being.

I'd rather have 27tpi Nates than Floaters at this time of year.

I guess not, when I last looked it was end November.

Look light, I guess thy have to be fragile or lack durability.

^^^ +1

Been riding mainly Floaters lately and they scare me on stuff I can ride without a thought on Nates.

However if you are just sticking to trails suitable for ordinary mtbs, then Floaters are pretty good.

If they fit your frame, I've been impressed with the speclized ground controls. Not tried them tubeless yet though.
