45NRTH Dillinger 5 Studded Tire
If your Canadian and own a Fat Bike your riding in the winter, in snow and very typically that means ICE. The Dillinger 4 and 5 are those tires for Canadian winters and ideally staying upright when encountering an icy section of trail. The first time you take a “hipper” you will want Dillingers. The price might hurt more than the fall but you will ride more and the pain will go away after you tear through trails and lakes with potential icy sections with only a big grin on your face (this feeling will happen for years because winter tires used in winter last many seasons). These are the best all round studded tire hands down. If your on the fence, realize that when you find out you want these things they will likely be out of stock everywhere.
DILLINGER 5 FAT BIKE TIRE
TPI: 60 or 120
Size: 26 x 4.6″
Studs: 258 Aluminum Carbide Flat or Concave Studs
SOFTEN YOUR RIDE. TUNE YOUR TRACTION.
The larger cousin of the original studded fat bike tire. 258 lightweight studs with concave carbide tips and aluminum bases allow you to rail icy, off-camber single track with confidence and control. The Dillinger 5 floats on top of loose snow and digs while turning, accelerating or braking on ice and packed snow. Tightly spaced center treads roll fast and do not let Dillinger’s unparalleled traction get in the way.

These are truly amazing tires for winter riding. I ride on pure ice along a river shoreline and feel very stable. I was also very happy with the low rolling resistance. They roll easier than the stock tires that came with the bike and these weren’t studded.
Highly recommend for anyone who rides on snow or ice in the winter and doesn’t enjoy falling!

Great tires. Predictable traction in all conditions. Studs stay firmly planted in the pockets. No issues with tubeless set up. Capable of running at very low pressures without burping.
