Hi Rick,

Tried dealing with Trelleborg a while ago looking at Mitas, Phoned the guy about 3 times chasing him up, When i asked what the speed rating was on the Mitas i was looking for he couldn't tell me and told me to ring another dealer to see if they knew!

As he was the dealer and didn't know simple info like that i thought best of it and went for TKC80s.

Mike, I would not think that they would be speed rated, if you use them or any proper enduro tyre you would only get 1 maybe 2 races and they would be Knacked. When I rode the Powys Enduro which is about 120 miles time card event, roads, fire track, bogs and forests that was it your new tyre Enduro was shagged after that so they are not built to last great miles the are designed for maximum grip of road and are road legal in name because the timed sections are linked by roads.

I had a swiss army tyre before and it was good on the road, and great for rocky climbs and muddy fields, I have used it to race on with the DRZ400 on 3 hour Hare and Hound races and green lanes (which we don,t have any more in Somerset)

Was looking at the Mitas E-07s. If my memory is right they turned out to be 'T' rated. But had to ask elsewhere to find it out.

Hi Mike, no I haven't used a front before just the rear which grip brill in slippery wet mud.

I have been talking to the man who imports them today, very helpful

Nice one, Keep them near a radiator in the house to warm them up. they have a stiff side wall and use plenty of tyre soap to get them on.
I use to hold my front brake on and spin the back wheel at first just to get the rear bedded in abit :glasses10:
