Mitas H03 3.00-18 52P TT CLASSIC | ROAD BIAS FRONT & REAR DOT

The Mitas H03 is a bias-ply tyre engineered for classic and vintage motorcycles, offering a period-correct tread pattern that suits the aesthetics and handling characteristics of older British, European and Japanese machines. The 3.00-18 size is a common fitment across a wide range of mid-century bikes, and the tube-type (TT) construction matches the original specification of most classic-era wheels.

Road-legal with DOT approval, the H03 is rated to a 52P load/speed index, making it suitable for everyday road use. It is approved for both front and rear fitment, simplifying parts sourcing for riders running matched tyres on a classic build or restoration.

• 3.00-18 size — a common fitment on classic British, European and Japanese motorcycles with 18-inch wheels
• 52P load/speed index: 200 kg maximum load capacity, rated to 150 km/h
• Tube Type (TT) construction — designed for use with an inner tube (tube sold separately)
• Bias-ply (cross-ply) construction suited to the suspension geometry and frame flex of classic-era motorcycles
• DOT approved for road use
• Approved for front or rear fitment — one SKU covers both wheel positions
• Classic tread pattern appropriate for vintage motorcycle restorations and period-correct builds

• Tyre (inner tube not included)

Always fit this tyre with a compatible inner tube of the correct size — it is a Tube Type (TT) tyre and must not be run tubeless.
Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified tyre technician; incorrect fitting can damage the tube or tyre bead.
Allow a break-in period of approximately 100 km at moderate speeds and lean angles to allow the tyre surface to fully seat and scrub in before applying full lean or hard braking.
Check tyre pressure when cold before every ride; refer to your motorcycle manufacturer's recommended pressures for the 3.00-18 size.
Inspect the tyre regularly for cuts, cracking, embedded objects, or uneven wear — classic tyres may be more susceptible to ozone and UV degradation if the bike is stored long-term.
Store unmounted tyres horizontally, or hung vertically, in a cool, dark, dry location away from direct sunlight, ozone sources (electric motors, fluorescent lights) and petroleum products.
Do not exceed the 52P speed or load rating; overloading or sustained high-speed riding beyond the rating voids safe operating limits.
Replace the inner tube whenever fitting a new tyre; a used tube can fail unpredictably inside a new tyre.
