Trelleborg made tires in Sweden for more then 100 years. In 2000 Mitas started to make them on license, but I think they will stop this year. I have been told that the production equipment was moved from Sweden to Czech.
Trelleborg is the absolute best tire for riding in snow and is used by most Scandinavian winter-riders and the army.
Mitas was started as a subsidiary of Michelin in the early 1930s. They have made tires for Michelin, Continental and Barum.
My Michelin T63 is produced at one of the three enormous Czech Mitas-plants.
If you take a look at the Mitas-products you will find a lot of high performance products.
