Mitas C-02 or EF-07?

[Greg Masters]

For the back of my 'Berg.

What does the team think?

 

[Timolgra]

C02 most folk use them up here.
I use them on my berg, Anges Ttr and my ktm640

 

[Greg Masters]

Yes, I like the C-02 but bandit swears by the new EF-07.

I'll check the relative prices later this morning.

 

[Timolgra]

If you like it why change to what someone else likes

 

[Timpo]

C-02= 3500 miles
EF-07= 1000 miles

Next question.....?

 

[Timolgra]

C-02= 3500 miles
EF-07= 1000 miles

There's the relative price in a nutshell

 

[Greg Masters]

C-02 - £52
EF-07 - £57

I've ordered one of each!

 

[bandit]

I'm currently running a c02. Agree it will last longer.


The ef-07 is a great tyre, but you wouldnt want to ride behind it.

I have a part worn ef07 You can have if you want

 

[Timolgra]

Thanks for the offer - but if I'm going to feck myself fitting a tyre and mousse, it'll be a new tyre!!

Couple of questions for the team

What front tyre do you use with the co2?

Best pressure?

Best deal and from where?

I was thinking the 140 is a bit wide, can you run a 120 and has anyone tried it?

Thanks for the input

There are also some hard terrain skins for use in foreign climes.

The 18" is 120

I'm not hugely bothered about having front and rear tyres matched - I'll use what I've got (currently I have a small stock of new Metzeler 6-Days). But there is a good range of Mitas tyres to cover a whole variety of conditions and uses.

I use mousses but when I used tubes, 12 - 15psi was the norm. As Timpo suggests, your pressures (particularly the front) needs to be at the higher end of your preferred range if you're riding hard on rock surfaces where 'snakebite' punctures are more likely.
