Consistent grip from new to worn — MITAS's compound holds its traction character throughout the tire's life, not just the first few thousand miles
Snake-pattern tread channels water away efficiently while keeping a solid contact patch in the dry — better wet manners than most cruiser-specific designs

H-rated to 130 mph — plenty of headroom for SoCal freeway pulls and beyond
Seven sizes covering 21" front hoops through wide-rear power cruiser profiles — fits classic and modern baggers alike
All-weather construction targets riders who ride year-round, not just sunny Sundays

Best For
Highway Hauler
You're piling on interstate miles — often with a passenger, a loaded trunk, and weather you didn't plan for. The Custom Force was designed with exactly this scenario in mind: stable under braking, predictable in the wet, and confident whether you're solo or carrying a co-pilot through the Cajon Pass.
Perfect Match
Weekend Cruiser
You like a good backroad run and the occasional longer trip, but you're not stress-testing lean angles. You want a tire that just works — rain, shine, or mixed — without requiring you to obsess over it. The Custom Force delivers dependable all-conditions behavior and won't punish you for not warming it up perfectly.
Great Match
Canyon Carver
If you're hunting apexes and want maximum dry bite and quick turn-in on your cruiser, the Custom Force isn't your tire. It's built for load stability and wet-weather predictability, not aggressive lean-angle feedback. Check out the Avon Cobra Chrome or a sport-touring option that'll better match your riding style.

Frequently Asked
Noticeably better than most. The snake-pattern tread moves water out efficiently, and riders report solid confidence on the painted surfaces and metal grates you hit constantly in urban SoCal riding. It's not a dedicated rain tire, but it outperforms a lot of cruiser rubber in mixed conditions.
That's exactly what they were built for. The carcass construction is specifically engineered to manage the forces of hard braking and full touring loads — passenger, luggage, all of it. Riders consistently report the same predictable feel whether they're running solo or two-up with gear.
Community reports put rear tire life in the 6,000–10,000 mile range and fronts at 10,000–15,000 miles under typical cruiser use. Riding style and bike weight play a big role in that spread. What's notable is that grip stays relatively consistent as the tire wears — you're not losing confidence well before the wear indicators hit.
Absolutely. H-rated means 130 mph, which gives you a massive buffer above any legal highway speed. Most cruisers live comfortably at 70–80 mph on the freeway, and the Custom Force handles that range all day without complaint. The rating reflects its touring DNA, not a performance limitation.
This is one of the Custom Force's standout traits. MITAS engineered the compound to stay consistent through the tire's life — riders report similar confidence at 6,000 miles as they had at 500. There's a slight reduction in absolute grip as tread depth decreases, as with any tire, but the drop-off curve is far more gradual than typical cruiser compounds.
Plan for roughly 100 miles of progressive riding — back off on hard braking, aggressive acceleration, and deep lean angles while the tire scrubs in. The manufacturing release agents need a few heat cycles to clear off before the compound reaches its optimal grip window. Take it easy out of the shop, and you'll be fully up to speed well before your first fill-up.
