Tyre choice for adventure riding? (Mixing road and off-road)

[Padmei]

What'd ya fit Joe?

I have a new E07 on the back & am very impressed with it so far after 2 rides. Not much in it between the 09 & 07 as far as traction off road & from all reports much better mileage.

Hi Padmei.

new set of E-09's mate, i like them..good grip on the road and serve me well off road. and there a good price, and as always great service from LMS imports from palmerston north.

over night delivery.

Hmmm, wonder how long this will last? The E-07 has 2200km's on it. Still looking pretty reasonable and it has not had the easiest life.

E07... 11,000 km of gut wrenching horsepower and still going strong

Sure it's an E07? Don't look like mine

If you had a 140 E-07 it'd look like that.

Yeah, i was going to get one like cooney's but I've got a 2.75 rim and you need a 4.00 to fit the 140 , big boys rims padmei ,750 @'s and 950's have them
Shit now I'm starting to sound like a fooking tyre anorak

I really need a 150 wide tyre cause the 950 rims are 4.00 (ferken huge!). I'd replace it with a 3.5 if I ding it up. The 140 is only just useable cause the side walls are vertical and have no shape to them. I'm still hanging out for the 150 wide E09 I keep hearing rumours about. I've grown to like the E09 rear on the big bikes as a reasonable millage tyre which still has a bit of grip for braking and mud (things I dont like E07 for).

Going to see how long the MT21 lasts in the mean time. I'm guessing about 2000kms Just enough to do one 300km ride round Nth Canty and the DB pre run.

So I scored a new Dunlop D903 front for $55 off John at Boyds today. this with the new Mich T63 rear should give me better grip and control over the worn TKC's front and rear. I need all the help I can get.
Havn't a clue about the D903 other than I was told it was OE fitment to DRZ dirt bikes. MXNUT hopefully will know a bit about them, but for 55pingers, I couldn't pass it by.
(these tyres are on the XRL. Obviously not the Scrambler)

I know!
( I think he just feels sorry for me for some reason. Kanny says I'm sphecial also)

[dino3310]

we all think your sphecial mate

John might think your still unemployed, if so milk it

[OV Lander]

So what is the verdict then between the T63 and the E-09? On line they look damn similar, but is there a difference in wear/performance when on the bike?

Whose tried both?

[tri boy]

I've used the E-09's for about two years and have been impressed with grip and wear.
I'm gunna try the T63 this weekend, but on a totally different bike.
If it is a shit tyre(which i doubt), then MXNUT is shouting free tyres for life for all adv riders
