Best For
Trials Competitor
If you're running observed trials events or grinding technical sections in practice, this is your tire. Bead security at competition-level pressures, precise terrain feedback, and a compound that works on everything from wet granite to indoor polished concrete.
Perfect Match
Extreme Dual-Sport Explorer
Adventure riders who spend the majority of their miles navigating rock gardens, tight singletrack, and gnarly off-camber sections will love what the MT 43 brings to the table. Just know that pavement is where this tire compromises — plan your routes accordingly.
Great Match
Street-Focused Rider
If pavement makes up the bulk of your riding — commutes, canyon runs, highway miles — the MT 43 isn't the right call. A sport-touring or adventure-road tire with a street-optimized radial construction will serve you far better in those conditions.

Frequently Asked
Technically yes — the P-speed rating covers speeds up to 93 mph, so short highway hops between technical sections are manageable. That said, the bias-ply construction and trials compound aren't built for sustained pavement use, so grip and ride quality on asphalt will be noticeably limited. This tire makes the most sense when technical terrain dominates your route.
For competition trials, most riders run 3–6 psi depending on terrain and body weight. If you're mixing in pavement or heavier dual-sport use, bumping up to 8–12 psi improves bead security and pavement stability while still delivering solid off-road performance. Always double-check bead seating after any pressure adjustment and dial it in based on your specific conditions and load.
Bias-ply tires flex more through the sidewall, which translates directly into better terrain conformability and tactile feedback when you're picking lines over rocks and roots at low speed. Radials are superior on pavement — better high-speed stability, more mileage, smoother highway ride — but they give up that low-speed communication the MT 43 is built around. It's a deliberate trade-off in favor of technical terrain precision.
Trials tires are designed around grip and feel, not longevity — that's a deliberate engineering priority. Competition riders typically swap based on performance loss rather than tread depth. In dual-sport use you'll stretch the wear life further, but don't expect adventure-touring mileage. The soft compound earns its keep in traction, not odometer numbers.
Absolutely — it's one of the few tires specifically engineered for indoor surfaces. The compound grips consistently on concrete, wood platforms, and polished rock, which is exactly what you need for winter training sessions and indoor competition events. Many trials riders keep a set specifically for the indoor season.
The 2.75-21 front and 4.00-18 rear are traditional trials dimensions, so fitment depends on your rim width and bike geometry. Trials-specific rims tend to be narrower than typical dual-sport or adventure rims, which can affect how the tire seats and performs. Bring your rim specs in or call us at (714) 516-9059 — we'll confirm fitment before you commit.
