MITAS
Mitas builds tyres for riders who chew through rubber. The MX and enduro range runs aggressive blocks that bite into mud, sand, hardpack and rock without folding under load. Carcasses hold pressure on square edges. Tubes match the casings. Pick the tread for your terrain, the size for your wheel, and ride it until the knobs are square. Filter below by size and fitment.

MITAS — frequently asked questions
Common questions, straight answers. No fluff.
- The stripes indicate the compound and carcass construction. Red is for standard motocross. Yellow is for enduro. Green is a soft compound for extreme enduro. Double green is the ultra-soft version for the most technical terrain.
- Choose the green stripe for technical events involving wet rock, roots, and steep climbs. The rubber is much softer and stickier than the yellow version. While it provides superior grip in the slow stuff, it will wear out much faster on high-speed fire roads or hard-pack tracks. If your ride involves a lot of road work or fast trails, the yellow stripe is a more economical and durable choice for your bike.
- The double green is very pliable. On a heavy bike at high speeds, it may feel unstable. It is best suited for lightweight two-strokes in extreme technical sections.
- Yes. They work well with tubes, but the softest compounds perform best with a mousse. A mousse allows you to mimic very low pressures without the risk of spinning the tyre or flatting.
- Soft compound tyres are designed to deform over obstacles to create a larger contact patch. Running them at too high a pressure negates the benefit of the sticky rubber. For extreme enduro, riders often run pressures as low as 6psi using a mousse or Tubliss system. This allows the knobs to wrap around rocks and roots. However, at these pressures, you must be careful on fast, rocky sections to avoid damaging the rim or the tyre carcass itself.
- A rim lock is highly recommended. Even the standard enduro compound can generate enough grip to slip on the rim if you are aggressive with the throttle at lower pressures.
