WTB Byway Road TCS Tire

No, the WTB Byway 700x40 is not approved for e-Bike use. You should look for tires specifically rated for the higher torque and weight of electric bicycles.

It is tubeless-ready, meaning you can run it without an inner tube if you have a tubeless-compatible rim, sealant, and valve. However, it is also perfectly compatible with traditional inner tubes if you prefer that setup.

The Byway features a smooth centerline for efficient rolling on pavement and harder surfaces, paired with diamond-shaped outer knobs for grip on gravel or dirt. It is an excellent choice for mixed-surface rides where you transition between road and light gravel.

The 60TPI (threads per inch) casing strikes a balance between durability and suppleness. It is robust enough to handle rougher surfaces without being overly heavy, offering a reliable feel for everyday riding.

The folding bead is generally easier to install than a rigid wire bead because it is more flexible. While tubeless setups can sometimes be a snug fit, the folding design makes the tire much easier to transport and mount onto your rim.
