Surly Larry Tire – The Original Fat Front Specialist

Before “fat bikes” became a trend, Surly Larry was out there breaking trail. Designed as a front tire for snow, sand, mud, and anything soft or loose, the Larry’s dart-shaped knobs and tiny traction domes work together to balance confident grip with controlled drift — giving you steering precision when surfaces get unpredictable.

Optimized around a 65mm rim, Larry still performs admirably on rims from 50mm to 100mm, maintaining its solid footprint, height, and bite. The 27 TPI casing and wire bead construction keep it tough, durable, and ready for punishment in true Surly fashion.

Whether you’re floating through winter singletrack or slogging over dunes, the Larry delivers reliable traction when you need it most.
