Hi ! I need 29x2,6 tyre on front and 29x2,4 on the rear wheel. I want beige side tyres and i must choose between Schwalbe Smart Sam and Maxxis Rekon. I use my ebike most on asphalt roads and ocasionaly offroad, light country roads. Also i need a high roling tyres, good grip on corners and a decent puncture protections even using inflate tubes. Here is two links with those tyres. Please help me to choose the best ones from your experience, tyres who can resist at 40-50km/h speeds.


and


In this moment i have Schwalbe Johnny Watts but i want to buy a beige side ones like a second pair of tyres.

Thank you very much !

You really shouldn't need 2.6" wide tyres for
asphalt roads and ocasionaly offroad, light country roads

A light 2.2-2.4 tyre front and rear should roll and accelerate more efficiently and so long as you choose a decent tread patern and middling compound will give you plenty cornering grip. Personally I'd be looking for a semi slick style rear tyre and a fast rolling directional tread for the front.
You're narrowing your available choice options down massively by wanting beige sidewalls. Especially at the moment.

Having just taken the Smart Sam's off my Cube I can confirm they're a good tyre for good rolling resistance on road and more than capable for off road.... just not too extreme (on the mud or flint/rocks).
