MITAS – History
“MITAS has become best known for its highly sporty racing tyres. The road tyres offer good value for money and the MC35 is a popular semi-slick.”
– Jesco Schmidt, SIP Product Manager and DBM Champion
MITAS was originally a subsidiary of Michelin and was founded in 1933 in Prague-Strašnice, the Czech Republic. The name ‘MITAS’ only became established in 1947, after the first motorbike tyres for speedway had been manufactured. This marked the beginning of a highly successful career as a supplier to the motorsport industry. Today, MITAS supplies many riders in the disciplines of extreme enduro, motocross, speedway and, of course, scooter racing.
In 2012, the company expanded into the American market, where the focus is on tyres for agricultural machinery. Following the opening of the factory in Otrokovice, Czech Republic, in 2013, MITAS now manufactures at six sites across Europe. Crucial to the company’s continuous progress is its in-house central laboratory for research and development. This is where the specialised rubber compounds and radial tyres are developed, for which MITAS has made a name for itself.
Through innovative technologies, in-house expertise and high-quality materials, MITAS consistently ensures the availability of first-class products. MITAS conducts active market research and continuously invests in new developments. For customers, this translates into high quality and optimum performance at an attractive price. A broad product range is complemented by niche products, and as an original equipment supplier to leading brands, MITAS continues to make a name for itself. Its extensive experience in motorsport is a further advantage.
MITAS has been part of the Swedish Trelleborg Group since 2016. Whilst the focus had previously been mainly on the European market, the company can now utilise Trelleborg’s global distribution network. The well-known Czech brand Savatech was also absorbed into the Trelleborg Group, and since 2012, Sava tyres have been marketed under the MITAS name.
“MITAS is proud to be collaborating with SIP Scootershop, as they have a keen eye for the needs and trends in the scooter market.”

The most popular MITAS tyres at SIP Scootershop.
The latest development from MITAS came onto the market in 2018: The "Touring Force-SC" replaced many other models and quickly became a bestseller. With a stable carcass construction and a specially developed tread compound, the tyre has a high rolling comfort with excellent handling at the same time. High stability, precision on the straight and in the curve as well as optimal grip in all weather conditions - thanks to a tread that ends before the tyre sidewall. The virtual 3D technology used in the development ensures optimal water displacement and balanced tyre wear.
Of course, the MC 35 and MC 34 racing tyres and the MC 20 Monsoon for wet slopes are also worth mentioning. They enable strong lean angles and excellent braking and acceleration performance. The winter tyre MC 32 Win Scoot rounds off the manufacturer's range.
Many tyres from MITAS are available in a whitewall version. A fact that contributes significantly to the increasing popularity of the Czech brand. All MITAS motorbike and scooter tyres are manufactured according to strict quality standards.
