The Mitas MC 23 seem ok on dry hard stony tracks e.g dry Pyrenees type pistes. On my recent TET encountered some wet muddy conditions and weren't very sure footed there.diggermanbob wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:03 pmYou have me wondering now , I think I might order one and see what it looks like , I do like mitas tyres ,chunky butt wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 1:00 pmThink nickD used one on his drz, and got on well with it.......so hey hodiggermanbob wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 11:56 amMe too I wonder if it will wear better than co2PHILinFRANCE wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 10:29 am I'll be interested to see how that does , i do like Mitas
Rear lasts reasonably well, think I got 3500 ish km , front is now on 5500 ish km and is badly cupped and horribly noisy, should have turned it earlier though is supposdley directional..
Not sure I'll bother with them again unless I needed the extra mileage over something like the Maxxis IT which is better on the dirt and fine on tar too.
Choices choices Think Minky has the right idea with a couple of spare rear wheels with different tyres according to where you're going

Re: Tyres for a exc 400
funny thing tyres seen the new metzler m360 and the blurb was good ...i dont mind the old unicross on the road ..its not great but its ok so i got suckered into buying two 360s on offer at deamon tweeks ...
omg ...ive had some pretty scetchy tyres in me time but they were horrendous ..only did five miles ..cant comment off road as i were to scared to ride the bike to get there how they ever got a dot marking without a huge bung i dont know
i belive phil twatted a anakee wild in less than 2k so thats pretty rubbish too ..
anyway i sold them to sid with a big disclaimer for off road only .....
