Mitas E07 and 08: pressures

[Frodo]

No details on the Mitas website. What pressures are you running on- and off-road?

Thanks

I run 32 on and off road with no problems with the 09's...... even on the CCA two up in the mud...

On the 07's i am pretty sure i ran the same..........

[cooneyr]

High 20's/30 ish on road and 20 ish off road. Can't go much lower off road without rim locks (which I'm guessing you dont have).

Cheers R

Sounds similar to what I'm currently running. I thought that, being crossplies, they'd want a little more pressure. Do you run a little less in front?

Thanks

Hi ya,
29F & 33R. Just the normal recommended pressures for my bike. Seem to do OK. Cheers.

34f/36r on road and 18f/20r off road for the e-07's on the DR.

Got 15000km out of the rear.

whats the road noise like from the EO7/9....is the 09 the more off road one??
might use as a replacement on the KLR

cheers

Yip - EO9 is similair to TKC80, where as EO7 is between that & road tyre.
If you are going off road at all, fit the EO9. They handle surprisingly well on road as well.
Road noise not bad, nothing like a knobbly on my bikes anyway.

E09's 22F/25R on road, 13F/15R off road with rim locks

I have E07's on the Transalp, they're... um... quite LOUD. They howl at anything over 40km/h, I think it sounds cool. This in addition to being excellent both on seal and gravel, reasonably priced and apparently lasting forever (although I can't confirm this). I run around 18psi F and R off road, and 30 F & R on road.

I didn't find them loud on the DR.
Not saying you're fat or anything but I wonder if it's a weight issue?

- fat tranny (always wanted to use that smiley LOL).

The tranny in question is well traveled (been round the block a few times) and has done a few KM's on E09's.

Nope, I agree with Nordie, I do not consider the E07s to be loud either.
They may produce some noise compared to a more roady tyre but I've run others that are a lot louder.
I could/can never hear the E07 noise out of town. All i hear then is wind and because of the wind noise I do wear earplugs most the time and always out of the 50km/hr zones.


As he said, SkinnyBirdman hasn't had the Transalp long enough to wear out a set of E07s, before he got it I always ran it with E07s once I discovered them, or knobs like the E09.
If I am not putting proper knobs on my bike then the E07 is my compromise tyre of choice.

Surely you jest?

But seriously it could be the additional weight of the bike. I don't think anything on the bike is slogged out eg. bearings and such like, to make the noise I am hearing.
