FAQs
Can I run this tire without an inner tube?
No, this is a Tube Type (TT) tire and requires a compatible inner tube to maintain air pressure.
Is this tire suitable for highway use?
It is designed for standard road use; please check your motorcycle's speed rating requirements to ensure the 'J' speed rating is sufficient for your typical riding speeds.
Can I put this on the front and rear?
Yes, the Mitas MC2 is engineered to perform effectively in both front and rear wheel positions.
What does the 38J rating mean?
The 38J indicates a load index of 38 (up to 132kg) and a speed rating of J (up to 100km/h).
How often should I replace this tire?
Tires should be replaced when the tread wear indicator is reached, or if the rubber shows signs of deep cracking or dry rot, typically every 3-5 years regardless of tread depth.
Troubleshooting
Tire feels unstable or 'wanders' on the road
Check your tire pressure immediately; under-inflated tires will lose their intended handling profile.
Visible bulge on the tire sidewall
Cease operation immediately. This indicates structural damage from an impact and the tire must be replaced.
Slow air loss after installation
Verify that the inner tube was not pinched during the mounting process and check the valve core for tightness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Mitas MC2, ensure you have a compatible 16-inch rim and a new inner tube, as this is a Tube Type (TT) tire and cannot be run tubeless. Always check your motorcycle manual to verify that the 2 1/4-16 size is specified for your front or rear axle. Proper maintenance includes checking the tire pressure weekly, as incorrect inflation can compromise the reinforced sidewall performance. Store the tire in a cool, dark, and dry place if not immediately mounting it to prevent rubber oxidation.
