FAQs
What type of motorcycles is the Mitas MC 25 Bogart best suited for?
This tire is specifically designed as an original equipment replacement for low-capacity supermoto and sport bikes, typically those with smaller engine displacements.
Is this tire suitable for aggressive riding or track days?
While it offers reliable performance for everyday riding, the MC 25 Bogart is not designed for the extreme demands of aggressive riding or track days. For such use, specialized sport-performance tires are recommended.
Does this tire require an inner tube?
No, the 'TL' designation indicates that this is a tubeless tire and does not require an inner tube, provided the wheel rim is designed for tubeless mounting.
What does the '62S' rating mean?
The '62S' is the load and speed index. '62' is the load index, indicating the maximum load the tire can carry, and 'S' is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tire is designed for.
How should I check the tire pressure?
Use a reliable tire pressure gauge. Check the pressure when the tires are cold (before riding). Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for the recommended pressure.
Where can I find the manufacturer part number (MPN)?
The manufacturer part number for this specific Mitas tire is 70000045. It is often also found on the tire sidewall.
Troubleshooting
Tire shows rapid or uneven wear.
Check tire pressure; under or over-inflation can cause premature wear. Also, verify wheel alignment and consider riding style.
Difficulty maintaining a seal (tubeless).
Ensure the rim is clean and undamaged, and that the valve stem is properly seated and tightened. Professional mounting may be required.
Reduced grip in wet conditions.
This tire is designed for general use; wet grip may be less than specialized sport or touring tires. Reduce speed and ride cautiously in wet weather.
Vibrations or instability at speed.
The tire may require balancing. Consult a professional technician for wheel balancing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This tire is specifically sized as a 130/70-17 with a 62S load and speed rating. It is designed as an original equipment (OE) fitment for many low-capacity supermoto and sport motorcycles. Always verify your motorcycle's recommended tire size and specifications in the owner's manual before installation. Using an incorrect size or rating can compromise safety and performance.
Setup:
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician experienced with motorcycle tires. Ensure the wheel rim is clean and free of damage. Use appropriate tire mounting lubricant. The tire must be inflated to the pressure recommended by the motorcycle manufacturer. The tubeless (TL) designation means no inner tube is required, but the rim must be designed for tubeless tires and the seal must be airtight.
Care:
- Regularly check tire pressure and adjust as needed.
- Inspect tires for wear, cuts, bulges, or embedded objects.
- Maintain proper wheel alignment.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight when not in use.
- Clean the tire surface with mild soap and water; avoid harsh chemicals.
