“The big advantage of Mitas Powerpull is the fact that it is sold as a slick tyre, allowing a custom cut according to the competitor's specification,” said Andrew Mabin, Mitas' sales and marketing director. “To ensure being one of the first competitors to put on a new set of Mitas Powerpull tyres, I would encourage pullers to contact their cutter and put their name on the list.”
Important specifications of Mitas Powerpull:
- Tyres are matched in pairs at the factory to a circumference tolerance of approximately 1.2 centimetres and are sold in matched pairs.
- When the tyres are matched at the factory, they are inflated to 0,8 bar and the circumference measured.
- The average circumference of this production run at 0,8 bar is 5,273 metres.
During the final stage of development, Mitas took advantage of first-hand feedback on Mitas Powerpull's design from several pullers and pulling teams in Europe and North America. These are a few examples of the impressive results Mitas Powerpull has achieved in competitions (in North America & Europe):

Enderle Pulloff, 2015: 2nd place (Super Stock Diesel)
NTPA Winter Nationals, 2016: 1st place/Friday (Super Stock Diesel)

Mitas actively supports tractor-pulling events. In Europe, Mitas is the official partner of the European Tractor Pulling Committee (ETPC), supporting all Eurocup pulls. Mitas has recently prolonged its sponsorship agreement with ETPC for the Eurocup 2016 season.
