I used this tire to replace an e-bike 26x4 rear wheel tire that had sidewall damage. Initially I was uncertain how the tire would arrive given the disclosure in the listing that it was shipped flat/rolled up. No worries necessary, the tire unfolded quickly and was in shape within minutes; about an hour in the sun and it looked like it had never been folded. The tire itself is excellent quality, frankly better than my original tire, and the tread is a very nice combination of street and off road capable- almost like an all-weather tire for a car. The tire installed perfectly, and my first ride (almost 25 miles) was sooth as could be!
