Maybe I'm late to the party, but I just found this today. Mitas and Trellborg tires factory direct in the US. US warehouse, good prices and free ground shipping. I always loved the Trellys and still have one Mitas trials left. Good to see!

ive been running the trelleborg 120 tenmasters for the past 2 years and refuse to run another tire because it is that awesome. almost everyone in our riding group has switched! i keep 2 at a time so i always have a spare! i also have run a mitas c-18 and c-19 but were not overly impressed. the trelleborg tires such as the tenmasters is being marketed under mitas name next year and will be called the mitas sport extreme. this was suppose to be the last year for the tenmasters name,same tire just different name. i also run the t-454 trelle in the winter, best tires going in my opinion
 
Im looking for a good sand tire,, doing a south jersey sand run in nov and need a rear tire before. Which trelle would be good for this?
 
You guys in Canada always could get them but we lost the distributor a few years back thats why this is a good thing.

Steve, the Tenmaster works everywhere, like an MT16 just better. Would be perfect for your for PA trails. The Mitas C12 is a sand tire like an S12. Work good in sand but get tore up in rocks like any sand tire. Great price! So, Iwould do:

Sand - C12
Mixed dirt/some rocks - Tenmaster
Extreme rocks - ET-01 radial trials

BTW we are going to the Hammer Run, I'll call you and we can all ride together.
 
and for new england if you did not want to run a trials tire??
roots rocks mud slime ... some dirt and sand mixed in here and there??
 
skid,

Just get a Tenmaster then, its like an MT16, hard to fault it. I'll bet it works real good with a Tubliss. When my MT16 is shot thats what I'll get for my second wheel.

There was T-914 on a random front wheel I ended up with, it was a nice front tire considering the wear on it. I probably will try a Tenmaster for my next rear.
 
How are they when you lean em over?? do the sides bite good?? Thus the reason I dont seem to grasp the trials tire thing... I apparently lean over in the corners.. not good on a trials tire.. must be all the time I spent on asphalt back in my late teens.. I'm hoping to get an extra rear wheel soon so I can have a trials tire and knobbie.. since I live in a rather rocky place.. Any of the trials tires that can be leaned over??
 
Steve,

The Tenmaster is a great knobby and for JT trails would be fine. It works as well as any thrown over in corners. The Mitas is the most round and most predictable trials tire, but you can't grab a handful of 450 with the bars dragging or you will be on your face. On the trails we rode 2 weeks ago, I had no problem with cornering. The slightest berm makes a big difference. In tight, slick, and rocky turns I adopt a more upright, brake slide pivot style which works well. In general if the trail is fast and smooth enough to worry about cornering grip, I don't need the trials tire and run the MT16/Tubliss which is very good as well. Another thing is the trials tires save me a fortune in knobbys, which get wasted in a few rides here as I'm sure you can imagine.

The 914s are great front tires too!
