Mitsuboshi Competition III Tires

No comments
"The Competition 3 tire has been the most talked about item on the raceing scen since the first samples laid tracks on U.S. soil. They've completely redesigned the treat design and appear to be using slightly different compound. The Comp 3 actually bites into the dirt with more force than a regular tire because the lugs are taller, better spaced and have vice like edges on them." ~ Tire Comparison Review by Bob Hadley in BMX Plus!, March 1981.

The Mitsuboshi Competiton III skinwall tire is manufactured in Japan and is available as a 20 x 1.75" or 20 x 2.125". Most racers used these in a "fat-skinny" combination.
