The 'LT' stands for Lukas Tamme, a Czech BMX rider  and now coach of the Czech BMX National Team, who helped develop the tyre.

Mitas approached Tamme to assist in devoloping the Speedo tyre after his victory in the 2011 Czech BMX Championships.

In today’s super stiff and smooth bicross tracks, the ideal tyre is Speedo LT. Low and smooth tread pattern with figures in optimal density combined with special compound enabled perfect rolling while preserving adhesion and fine control during the ride.

'Made in Czech Republic' quality built into every Mitas tyre.
