The Problem With Fatbikes

As a disclaimer: I love fatbikes. A fatbike (Shrek, a 2014 Trek Farley) was my only bike for two years, and I've raced and ridden it all over three countries. So, in general, I love fatbikes.
Having said that, while I was backing up some photos, I came across this one I took a few weeks ago, which perfectly sums up the problem with fatbikes:

See it? It's in two spots:

$900 worth of tires, around 1200 miles of front tire usage between them. Not a single functional front/rear combo out of the batch. It can cost more to keep a fattie shod than it can a performance car.
And in doing so, you become an expert in duct tape, and in sealants:

These aren't even all my sealants. It's crazy. The result of all this searching by the way, is that there are only two sealants in my book, two good ones:
1) Stan's Racing: This new product is simply the best ever. By far.
2) If you can't find it (some shops aren't stocking or ordering yet) then mix 1:1 ratio of Stan's and Slime. It's more cost effective than pure Stan's, and it's more effective as well. A bit heavier, but worth it.
