WFO Bikes & Racing to launch a new offroad and dual-sport tire in SA
Following from the success of TUbliss, WFO Bikes & Racing have come to realize that TUbliss needed a quality tire to offer the best overall solution. What was needed was a high quality competitively priced tire. Over the past year, we have been looking for the impossible, the best quality, best performing off road tire at the best price. I am really chuffed today to announce that such tires exist and are on their way to SA.
WFO Bikes & Racing will be launching the MITAS Tire brand to the South African motorcycling market & will be available to dealers as from April 2010!
MITAS
Founded in the early 1930's as a subsidiary of Michelin, Mitas established itself as a major manufacturer of quality tires soon after the Second World War, and continues to produce many of the world's best tires in its three enormous Czech plants.

Many of the world's best industrial and agricultural equipment manufacturers specify Mitas tires as original fitment for their machines.
