Are Mitas motorcycle tyres any good?
Very grippy tires, warms up quickly, very flickable and easy to switch directions, especially when new. I tested them completely new and cold, went full gas and they didn’t slide. So when new they are very grippy. The best cheap new tyre for your money.

Are wider motorcycle tires better?
Narrower, lighter tires are definitely better for performance and handling, but they can’t handle as much horsepower. If you enlarge the contact patch by making the tire wider, you get more grip and that larger contact patch dissipates more heat and provides more material to wear away, so the tire lasts longer.
Is Mitas a good brand?
Overall, the Mitas Sport Force + is a really good tire that compares well with the more recognizable sport tire brands. Sizing is strictly for 17 inch wheels and ranges from 110-120 fronts and 150-190 rears (You can find a 190 rear for sale HERE).
How long do Mitas E07 last?
The Mitas E07 Dakar tires have yet to disappoint me. The front likely still has another 5,000 to 7,000kms of life in it. The rear, alas, is approaching the end of its useful off-road service. On the rear of most of my friend’s bikes the E-07 Dakar lasts for an average of 20,000 to 25,000 kilometres.

Can I fit a wider tyre on my motorcycle?
It is only recommended that you go up/down by 10. A. As one figure is a linear measurement and the other is a ratio they can’t be transposed. If you look at Bridgestone’s BT45s which are widely sold, the 130/80 x 17 is 638mm wide and fits rims between 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches with 3 inches the optimum.
