Mitas 90/100-14 Terra Force MX SM

The all-new Mitas TERRA FORCE-MX range is aimed at both professionals and amateurs looking for high performance.

Tyres for all types of terrain, from medium to heavy. The studded rear tyres offer maximum traction on any terrain.

The surface and new tread structure provide a balance between stiffness, reliability and lasting performance. The tire's tread pattern is designed to achieve maximum traction even under changing terrain conditions to ensure maximum speed and handling. Widely spaced center gaps provide maximum traction in moderate to difficult terrain.

Arrow-shaped studs on the front tire and side studs ensure directional precision when driving straight ahead.

Red stripe - tyre marking for motocross.

Yellow stripe - tyres with softer compounds suitable for FIM enduro and cross country competitions

Green stripe - tyres with softer carcass and soft tread for hard enduro competitions

Double green stripe - tyres with softer carcass and very soft tread compound for extreme hard enduro competitions

White stripe - tyres for winter use, motoskyöring and motocross on ice

No stripe tyres - classic motocross tyres

Store tyres clean and away from sources of heat, light, ozone or hydrocarbons.Avoid prolonged exposure of tyres to direct sunlight.Avoid any contact with squeegees, petrol, volatile solvents or other agents that may damage rubber. Avoid horizontal storage of tubeless tyres, only small tyres can be stored horizontally (maximum 6 months).If tyres are stored horizontally, they must be placed tooth to tooth. If tyres are stored mounted on the rim, lower the inflation pressure.Make sure there is no water or moisture inside the tyre.Never store tyres in direct contact with the ground for long periods of time. For safety reasons, tyres should only be repaired by experts using the correct methods and toolsWhen loading a tyre, the relationship between speed, inflation pressure and load capacity of the tyre must be taken into account. (See also the online Pressure Calculator on our website)Overloading causes premature tyre destruction. Use the technical documentation and inflation tables that define the load and inflation for different operating speeds.Underinflation not only causes the tyre to run down incorrectly, but also causes liner separation or other damage to the tyre liners.Overinflation increases the hardness of the tyre and reduces the resistance to impacts leading to the tyre liners becoming damaged.

Mounting and dismounting tyres can be dangerous and should only be carried out by trained and qualified personnel using the correct tools and working procedures. Failure to follow these procedures may result in incorrect fitting of the tire to the rim and subsequently cause destruction of the tire with explosive force, which could result in serious injury or death.Make sure the rim, tire and tube are compatible.Check that the tire is suitable for the equipment/machine. Only use rims recommended or approved by the tyre manufacturer.Always use only the correct special equipment and tools.The rim must be clean and in perfect condition (not damaged etc.), if necessary clean the rim with sandpaper. Under no circumstances mount tyres on rims that are cracked, seriously deformed, have welding repair marks, etc.Carefully inspect the inside as well as the outside of the tyre to identify any damage. If the extent of the damage does not allow repair, the tyre should be devalued.When fitting with a tube, always use the correct new tube and liner for the size. For mounting tubeless tires, on tubeless rims, always use a new tubeless valve.Lubricate the rim and bead before mounting. Use only a suitable lubricant that will not destroy the tire (never use silicone or gasoline based lubricants).Vertical mounting is recommended. In the case of horizontal mounting, it is essential to check that the bottom bead fits correctly.Fit the tyre onto the rim opposite the valve hole (respect the direction of rotation indicated by the arrows). Using the mounting lever, gradually slide the first bead over the rim rim rim rim. Then insert a lightly inflated inner tube, sufficiently treated with a slip joint (if fitted), into the rim. Position the valve and secure it lightly with the retaining ring. Insert the second foot, working in sequence so that you end up at the valve.To seat and centre the shell correctly, remove the inner valve liner. Slowly inflate and check for proper seating of the casing foot. Ensure that the casing foot has not pinched the inner tube.Maintain a safe distance during inflation, always use a safety cage, preferably attached to a wall or safety chain. During pressure readings, make sure that no part of your body is in the possible trajectory of the valve internals or its cap. It is recommended to use a suitable device to limit the inflation pressure. Use a filter and dehumidifier for the compressed air necessary to remove moisture and dust.If the feet are not seated properly, release the air, re-pressurize and inflate. Repeat this operation until the feet are seated correctly.If all previous operations have been performed correctly, replace the valve liner. Inflate the tyre according to the load Make sure the valve does not touch the rim, brake drums or other mechanical parts.DisassemblyNever attempt to remove the beads of an inflated tyre.Always remove the inner valve insert.Check that the tyre is completely free of air before disassembly. Never use tools that may damage the rim or tire beads.
