I like them and there is a full range just like all brands. The ET-01 trials is IMO the best trials tire for a woods bike. The S12 equivalent is the C10 rear, if I remember. Its at least as good, last S12s I've had were not impressive. Mitas is in the process of rebuilding their US distribution.

They are now my tire of choice, c18 is good for tubliss with a reinforced sidewall, and I find it grips better and lasts longer than bridgestone gritty
They have also just brought out an extreme events tire that was a sellout at romaniacs, doesn't last long but sticks like you-know-what!!

a few years ago here on Germany the Mitas tires where a good alternative to the brands like Michelin, because they are good tires for less money. But now I can buy Michelin tires cheaper than Mitas which makes them not interesting any more for me. compared I would spend my money for good quality like Michelin, Dunlop, Pirelli or Bridgestone.

they have become more expencive, but a few of those brands you mention are also made in a Mitas factory!

you are right, but the difference is in the tire and not in the factory wehre it's produced.
But one Mitas tire I would buy again, it is the FIM Enduro tire EF05. I use them because it is one of the only brand having 19" FIM tires and in my opinon are these tires better than Michelin and Metzeler!

In my opinion the ten masters is the best rear wheel you can buy. The front is junk(for me anyway) I like scorpion ms in front. I order 4 of these every year and all my buddies ride them as well in the rear.

Yeah Tenmaster is excellent, but no get here anymore.
The C-10 is a sand tire, like an S12. Not sure of the C-06. I thought the C-11 was the front match for the C-10 rear. Rears were good, didn't like the fronts though. I like the Pirelli XCMS as well, good front. About to try a set of Vee Rubber tires, as we have a vendor with a truck load at our harescrambles.

Yes the trelleborg ten masters are gone but the mitas sport extreme xt-754 is the identical tire just re named. I've got 4 coming but the friggin things are on back order till the end of June. Lucky I had one left over from last year!

No Mitas here either Trevor. This thread started talking about a new Mitas distributor in the US but nothing so far. I can get from Canada but too $$ by the time they get here. These Vee Rubber tires look interesting and have a good rep so far. Easy too with the truck at the races, we'll see how they work.
