Hi,
which tire you would recommend and why? Any more suitable over another? Despite thread. Do not discuss tire thread. Consider tire e softness and maybe something else I'm not aware.
MITAS 80/90 -21 (48P) MC-23
Mitas e-08 2.75-21
mitas e-02 3.0-21
 
Can you even purchase those tires?
I find most things are out of stock, motorcycle shops locally are all out and its hard for them to source the tires, though 21" might be a different story to what I was looking at, 19" x 2.50-3.50, but I am moving towards 21" as soon as tires are back in stock, unless your buying to get it shipped using ebay or online mc shops.

For tire stickiness, what do you want?

What type of riding are you doing
What terrain?

I saw them available.
All terrains. forest trails, asphalt, pavement.
48p 54p load index ok for heavier bikes. Not sure how load index corelates how soft tire is but I suspect it has straight relation. Therefore I aimed at mc23 with 45p but it is recommended for medium bikes which deters me choosing it.

All these three are more or less universal and e-08 for better roads compared to rest two . I think I'll go for e-08 or mc23.
e-08 has lower load index but despite that it is recommended for heavier ice bikes and mc 23 has higher load index and is recommended for lower cc lither bikes therefore logically would be - mc23, but according catalog mc23 higher load index. Sounds complicated, I know. e-08 is for medium cc bikes therefore it can be harder compared to mc23 but its (e-08) load index is lowest 165kg.
What is even more strange e-02 is is recommended for low cc bikes but tire itself is heaviest of all three.
If I could touch and mangle of of them I would choose on spot, but I need to make online order.
e-02 us ~20% heavier then rest two but suited for light bikes which is mind boggling.
All these manufacturer recommendations go down the drain.
