Need Feedback on Mitas XT+ Front tire


Redneckj

Recommended Posts

I am looking for some real world feedback from people that have tried the Mitas Enduro  XT+ front tire.  Preferably the NON Dakar version.  

 

I have run the stock front tire.  Really good stock front tire for 70/30 street dirt.  

I have run the Motoz Rallz front tire.  The BEST off road front tire I have ever run.  However its scary on the Highway above 70 MPH.  The faster you go the more scary it gets.

I have run 2 Michelin Anakee Wild fronts.  Pretty good off road, but its not a Rallz.  It performs really good up until about 80 then it starts getting the wobble/weave like more aggressive tires do.  MUCH better than the Rallz doing high speed on the interstate. 

 

  The 2nd Wild will need to be replaced sometime this year and I am looking at the Mitas Enduro  XT+ front.   Please post if you have any first hand experience in running this tire off road and on the interstate at speed.  

 

Thanks in advanced.

I have the XT Dakar mounted on my Tenere and the Rally version on the Gasgas 700 (they are identical in terms of geometry).
Until now in the Tenere I had ridden the E09 and the E10, apart of the OEM Pirelli which are very bad on offroad.
I don't see many problems with the XT, but in offroad you have to lower the pressure of the front wheel to have a good feeling.
On asphalt it works well but the irregularities in the road (slots in the direction of travel) give you a scare from time to time (like most tires with deep knobs).
I am not used to exceeding 100km/h on the road but I have occasionally driven at 120 and I have not noticed anything in particular.
I think they are a good choice.

Mitas xt front and rear here standard version.

 

I won't buy another front because they aren't quite aggressive enough off road. On road fine up to about 90mph (by gps) quickly starts to feel a light after that, don't like that at all. 

Weather its front rear or both I don't know

 

Otherwise no complaints on road, I've locked the rear up a couple of times when I don't think the oem tyres would have

What sort of mileage are people getting from the non-Dakar fronts?

hello all. I just mounted the XT+ non dakar on my tenere today. Did it by hand and I will admit it was a bear but I got it mounted (no blood)! I'll keep you posted as it goes. This from 6400 miles on the stock pirelli. FYI about to do the rear with a Mitas Enduro Trail+ (E07+).
