I thought these things were a bit dumb, then I figured out that the fatter tires make riding on the cobble stones that are common in my city more comfortable. I still don’t want one, but I see that they have their place.
No getting your wheels stuck in tram tracks either. Not relevant everywhere ofcourse but in places where they have trams plenty of people fall and get injured because of tram tracks.
Tram tracks are my second biggest nightmare after car doors!
You can go with regular wide tires for those already. No need for fatbike tires.
Only if you also reduce the air pressure, which comes with its own drawbacks. This is mountainbike 101 basically.
