[#6560831]

I've already got a fatbike, but I'm in the midst of building a freeride/jump kinda bike on 65mm rims and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any 2.8"-3" tyres, alternatives to the dirt wizards? Apparently it's the casing that matters not the quoted width but I wouldn't know..the gazzalodi's look perfect but obviously they're out of production now (lord knows why) ๐Ÿ™

Didn't you ask this last week? I thought the DWs were the only 26X3" tyres available at the moment

I have one of those with very little use which I don't think I'll ever use again if you're interested (note, just one, the reason should be fairly obvious)

65mm is pretty wide - Surly say to use the 26 x 2.75 DW on 35mm-50mm. They look pretty square on 50mm.

more here, including some measurement comparisons some way down:
