- Tube or tubeless setup
- Puncture protection upgrade
Try this first
Check your tires monthly: squared-off center tread, visible casing threads, or sidewall cracking all mean it is time. E-rated tires (like Schwalbe or Maxxis e-bike lines) carry stiffer casings and better puncture belts, worth it on a heavy bike. Replacing both tires and rotating the fresher one to the front is standard practice.
