I was running on Mitas EF07 double green band tyres for Barmouth, super soft extreme endure tyre, & did you notice I was probably the only 1 that didn't spin up on the rocks, very far from flintstone  Joe.

That's what I'm running now and yeah there great on rocky ground but found I can rip the squares off quite easy.
Not sure how they cope with a lot of road work though be interesting to see as I need a new back and not sure which way to go.

Well shamefully my tyres went on new for the drovers endure, I did 1 lap, they then did Barmouth & now they are over due the bin Viv, The single green band however is just as grippy but of a harder compound, how much harder I don't know, I will be putting 1 on next when home.

I don't think that's the Mitas that the Dude has though, he's had it 5 years and the nobbles are still the same as when he bought it

& it was 2nd hand when he bought it , but it does have Massey Ferguson on the side wall for some reason

had Maxxis enduro pro really grippy but wear down really fast (FIM tyre) great if you have deep pockets.

I maybe wrong but I think mine maybe a blue line but anyway I just want to make sure I have a good tyre for Barmouth in July and I like the feel of the mitas, so may get the single green and see how it lasts.
