Bud 26 x 4.8" 120tpi Folding Tire
This is Bud, a front-specific 4.8? tire designed for 559mm ("26 inch") rims.
While the 100mm Clown Shoe rims will offer the most ground contact and the best shape profile, Bud (and its matching rear, Lou) will also work on rims down to 65mm wide. Its aggressive, mud- and snow-shedding tread is characterized by tall (7mm), siped knobs, arranged in a pattern ideal for the unique requirements of steering and braking. A supple, durable 120tpi casing with folding Kevlar bead conforms well to ground surfaces of all types.

Is the valve stem hole drilled for presta or schrader?
A.
anwered by: canteau
The tube or rim would determine the valve type and not the tire.

Q.
asked by: a guest
Are these tubeless compatible
A.
anwered by: canteau
Surly Bud tires can be used tubeless, but aren't specifically tubeless ready so they may require a little more work and patience than a true tubeless ready tire.

Looking for a front tire that will not wash out in snow, will this tire perform in snow?
A.

The Surly Bud and 45NRTH Flowbeist are both front specific fat bike tires to help with tracking and steering on packed snow trails.
