Light-Studded 26 x 5 Fat Bike Tire for Snow & Ice, 120 TPI Aramid Bead

A frozen logging road feels less intimidating when your tires float across the top instead of cutting through. The Johnny 5 turns deep snow and glazed ice into manageable surfaces so you can extend riding season and explore winter routes with confidence.

The tire’s 26-inch diameter and 5-inch width provide deliberate flotation on soft snow, reducing sink and improving balance at low speeds. Light studding adds targeted bite on ice without the heavy drag of full-studded designs, so acceleration and cruising remain efficient on battery-assisted e-bikes. The 120 TPI carcass delivers a supple ride that lowers rolling resistance and improves traction feedback, while the rubber compound and 320 Crown tread pattern prioritize predictable cornering and controlled braking in mixed winter conditions.

Practical details matter on winter rides. The Johnny 5 weighs 3.75 pounds per tire and ships in compact packaging (10 x 6 x 6 inches). Constructed from a durable rubber compound and built specifically for fat-bike rims, this tire fits 26-inch fat-bike wheelsets and works well on electric fat bikes where added torque and weight demand a robust, high-TPI casing and secure bead. The aramid bead is foldable for easier storage and transport compared with traditional steel beads.

Choose the Johnny 5 when you need a winter-specific fat tire that balances flotation, ice traction, and ride comfort. Its combination of a wide 5-inch footprint, light studding, 120 TPI carcass, and aramid bead makes it a practical upgrade for riders who want dependable control and fewer compromises in cold-season riding.
