FAQs
Is this tire suitable for rear wheel use?
No, the Mitas E-09 110/80-19 is specifically designed and marked for front wheel use. For rear wheel applications, a different model or size (like the E-09 Enduro Rear Tyre) should be used.
What does the 'Dakar' compound signify?
The Dakar compound in Mitas tires typically indicates a more durable rubber formulation designed for increased longevity and resistance to wear, making it suitable for tougher conditions and higher mileage.
What is the meaning of M+S marking?
The M+S marking stands for 'Mud and Snow', indicating that the tire has tread characteristics that provide better traction in muddy and snowy conditions compared to standard tires.
Can I use this tire on the highway?
Yes, the Mitas E-09 is designed to perform on a variety of surfaces, including highways, though its primary strengths lie in mixed-terrain and off-road capability. Ensure tire pressure is adjusted appropriately for highway use.
How should I check for correct tire pressure?
Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for the recommended front tire pressure range. The tire's sidewall also provides maximum pressure limits.
What is the difference between this E-09 and other Mitas tires?
The E-09 is part of Mitas's adventure and dual-sport tire line. Specific compounds like 'Dakar' and tread designs are optimized for different types of riding, from hard-pack off-road to more on-road biased use. The E-09 is known for its balance of off-road capability and durability.
Troubleshooting
Tire does not hold air pressure.
Ensure the rim is clean and free of damage. Verify the tire bead is seated properly. Check the valve stem for leaks or damage. If tubeless, ensure sealant is properly applied if used.
Uneven wear pattern.
Check for incorrect tire pressure, wheel misalignment, or suspension issues. Ensure the tire is rotating in the correct direction as indicated by the tire's markings.
Reduced grip in certain conditions.
Verify tire pressure is appropriate for the terrain and conditions. Inspect tread for excessive wear or embedded debris. Ensure the M+S marking is relevant to the conditions being ridden.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the tire is mounted on a compatible rim for the 110/80-19 size.
