FAQs
Is this tyre suitable for road use?
No, the Mitas Terra Force-MX is specifically designed for off-road motocross use and is not road legal (NHS - Not for Highway Service).
How do I know if I need a front or rear tyre?
The product title or description will specify if it is a Front, Rear, or Universal fitment. Universal fitment tyres can be used on either the front or rear wheel.
What does 'TT' and 'TL' mean in the tyre size?
'TT' stands for Tubed Tyre, meaning it requires an inner tube. 'TL' stands for Tubeless Tyre, which can be mounted without an inner tube (though often requires specific rim types and sealant).
How do I choose the right compound for my track?
Softer compounds offer more grip on harder, drier surfaces but wear faster. Harder compounds are more durable on softer, looser terrain and resist tearing. Consult Mitas recommendations or experienced riders for specific track types.
What is the recommended tyre pressure?
Recommended tyre pressure varies based on track conditions, rider weight, and bike setup. Typically, pressures range from 12-20 PSI for motocross. Always refer to the tyre manufacturer's guidelines or consult experienced riders/mechanics.
Are these tyres sold individually?
Yes, these are single tyre listings. If you need a pair (front and rear), you will need to purchase them separately.
What does the '42M' in the tyre size mean?
This refers to the tyre's load index (42) and speed rating (M). These indicate the maximum load the tyre can carry and the maximum speed it is designed for.
Troubleshooting
Tyre does not hold air
Check the valve stem for leaks and ensure it is properly seated. Inspect the tyre bead for damage or debris. If it's a Tubed Tyre (TT), ensure the inner tube is not pinched and is correctly sized.
Poor traction in specific conditions
Verify you are using the correct tyre compound for the surface conditions. Ensure tyre pressure is set appropriately for the terrain (lower pressure for softer surfaces, higher for harder).
Rapid tread wear
Ensure the tyre pressure is not too low, which can cause excessive flexing and heat. Check for aggressive riding styles or riding on abrasive surfaces not intended for this tyre.
Tyre feels unstable during cornering
Confirm the tyre is installed in the correct rotation direction (if applicable). Ensure the tyre is properly seated on the rim and that rim lock is engaged correctly if used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This tyre is designed for specific rim sizes common in motocross (e.g., 19-inch front). Ensure the tyre is fitted to a rim of the correct diameter and width. It is recommended to have tyres mounted by a professional or experienced individual to ensure proper seating and safety. Always check the tyre sidewall for the recommended inflation pressure, which can vary based on track conditions and rider weight.
Compatibility: The Mitas Terra Force-MX is a competition motocross tyre and is NOT suitable for road use. It is designed for off-road use only. When purchasing, note the tyre size designation (e.g., 70/100 19 42M TT) which indicates its dimensions and type (TT - Tubed Tyre).
Care: Regularly inspect the tyre for any cuts, punctures, or excessive wear. Clean the tyre after each ride, especially if used in muddy conditions, to maintain the tread's self-cleaning properties. Store the motorcycle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ozone (like electric motors) when not in use to prolong tyre life. Avoid storing near sharp objects.
