@peterw: it´s a 2.2" tire. A picture will follow soon. Space remaining is equal the stromer tire. It fits quite well.

That looks ok, thanks. Did you swap the rear tyre yourself? I used to do most of the work to my bikes myself but wonder whether this is feasible with the St2 due to all wiring.

It is much more easier, than on the ST1, you have only one connector on the axle. See owners manual or on the Stromer-Website , there is the instruction.

I have already, with the Big Ben tyres, less space between the tyre and the frame . My rear wheel is al little bit misaligned, left less space then right. I prefer the 1.9" version of the Conti Top Contact Winter to be sure that the tyre is not rubbing against the frame. I think that the difference in comfort is not that big between a 2.2" and a 1.9", or am I wrong?

Performed the tyre-conversion to Conti's winter tyres today. Looks like the Conti's are a little bit less wide than the original Big Ben's. Initial ride felt positive, feels like a smoother ride and the rolling noise is almost zero. All good so far. Need to experiment a bit with the Conti tyre-pressures to find a good balance between comfort and roadability.
Have noticed that the Conti's are about 30% lighter than the BB's, makes a difference of about 300grams per wheel. Acceleration performance from scratch will improve :thumb:

Great news!
Have been driving with the continental tyres since october last year...summer and winter version. Prefer them much more then the big ben's. the BigBen is too unpredictable in wet conditions, starts to skid too easily...Continental rules!
