Mitas trials tires?
I got one from a buddy who got it from Guy Cooper at a bike trade show. Coop liked it, and so do I, but I can't find them for sale. I found online that the company used to be called CGS, and had some affiliation with Barum/Trelleborg, I think. Kind of reading between the lines.
I found 4 styles of off road tires from Mitas but all are similar to Continental TKC 80s in appearance. The company also makes agricultural tires. I sure would like to find another Mitas trials tire, the darn thing works great and is lasting like iron, and it's at least 5 yrs old. I got if free and put in the corner and forgot about it until early this year and used it. Usually a tire that sits that long will be dried out and not work, but not so with this little jewel. Any info? |

Jeff,
I'm a big fan of these too, best technical rock tire IMO. Mitas is currently restructuring their USA distribution, and availability will resume sometime soon I'm told. Sent from my C771 using Tapatalk 2 |

I don't know about the trials tires as such, but Trelleborg and Mitas are now the same company. I do not know which compay bought the other, but Trelleborg does not make any tires in Sweden any more AFIK. I think all are made in the Czech Republic. From time to time I use the studded Trelleborg tires during the winter. They offer very good grip, are expensive and very difficult to change.

Jeff,
Got one with 85%+ tread you can have. We just need to get my lazy (skeered) riding buddy Greg on board for a Brock Creek ride. If I keep the words "School House" and "Copperhead" out of the conversation it's probably a done deal.
