Mitas Tyres

[dragonwheels]

After talking to Simon Pavey, and trying a pair ourselves, we're so convinced that they're good value for 70/30 off/on road use that we're gonna stock them at Touratech.

Thanks for the replies.
So i would say my use is 80% road 20% gravel etc.
Which tyre from the range would work best?

[minkyhead]

the e10 80/ 20 an the e 09 for more frequent off road stuff would be better i think

if you havnt seen this site its worth a look

I have e09 on rear and karoo on front on my africa twin the rear has done 1100 miles so far with 9mm left i have been using offroad and thats why i have gone for this set up, they do more road biased tyres , saying that they are ok at 70/80 cruising and no weaves at 100 private road officer B)

Hi sopwith..
If you can wait a week have a look at all the bikes at the southern boil...mine will have the K60`s fitted.

Thats easy sopwith..

heidenau k60 scout rear and pirelle mt21 front..covers all eventualities amnd long lasting too.

agree with russ on the k60 rear but would go with something like a metzler karoo on the front - i got a horrible wear pattern on my mt21 front where the two side by side knobs wore under braking but the single knob didn't, leaving a horrible juddery slow speed ride...

My front worn in exactly the same way with mt21, only managed about 1200 mile

Thanks for the Link, i like the look of the E-08's.

I'm not in a major rush so i'll do like Tramp said and have a look at the 1,000 or so bikes heading down my way next weekend..

Thanks everyone for your input
