Did you price Trelleborg's ? Might be another option !!

 

I have been pricing 800 metric tires in Canada. All the major brands (firestone, Michelin, Goodyear) are extremely expensive -- a lot of it has to do with the cad/usd exchange rate.

I got a quote for Mitas tires that is significantly less ($1000/tire) than the GoodYears.

Has anyone had any experience with these tires? Any views on value/quality?

Mitas | North America :: Radial tire applications

Just on a side note , shouldn't the price of tires actually be going down since the price of a barrel of oil is down dramatically ??:sFun_doh2:

 

We've got two cih 290 magnums, one with michelins one with mitas tires both with 3000 hours or so. The mitas are holding up as good as the michelins and there really is no difference in performance. I would not hesitate to buy mitas tires in the future.

 

I bought Mitas tires for the sprayer a couple years back. I know they don't wear the same as on a tractor but so far I couldn't be more pleased with both performance and wear.
I think they are manufactured in the Czech Republic.

 

Mitas tires for north America are made in Charles City, Iowa. New factory built two years ago.

 

I also have had Mitas on my sprayer for the last 3 years and they have been good. Would not be afraid of them at all.

 

We have a set of Mitas tires on our row gator for floats, I forget the size. They've been on there for 3 or 4 seasons of doing burn down, pre emerge and top dressing wheat, we switch to the skinny Michelins for row crop post emerge spraying. The tires have show little wear and have deep lugs. The plant in Iowa is supposed to be the newest and most advanced in America.

 

They can't be worse than a Good Year? Anything is better than a Good Year

 

Needed 2 rear tyres for our hardi saritor sprayer after the 2nd BKT failed on bead seating the tyre shop order a pair of mitas for less than the BKT. Not sure if any good but there on and price was great. 380,90r46

 

We put 8 Mitas tires on the 8650JD. Only went one year with previous tires which were horribly cracked. The mitas are a good tire.

 

Mitas tires are a sister company to Continental tires. They have some interesting tire concepts being tested in Europe right now. YouTube has some videos. We have them on a couple tractors. Can not tell you how long they last the tractors get traded before they ever wear out. I can't give you any reasons why I wouldn't put them on something.

 

the mx200 I drive for chopping had them on the rear end they rode great on the road and the field so far I haven't seen any problems with them this year another guy got t boned by another tractor and it destroyed the rim but the tire was fine they seem tough
