Dunno, the previous owner could put away the pies too I hear.

Bumping an old thread here...

Haven't ridden with Mitas before - I've stuck to D606 and Kenda K270 on the AT so far but think I might give an E07 or E09 a fang.

How's the E09 on the road and what sort of K's are you getting?

How's the E07 off road, and apart from Nordie's sick 15000km and Underground's mad 9000km efforts, what sort of K's are normal people getting?

LMS imports still the place to go?

I could scratch my feet on the road with E-09's on the rear of the GS's. I used to get about 7-8000km per tyre, but I'm not as aggressive a rider off road as you. They can skip on down changes in the damp if your not smooth.

The E-07 is good on anything dry, and I've found them ok in wet as long as it's not muddy. Also of course not as good as a proper knobbly in sand. They are a very square profile.

Loving the E09s

Great in the dirt and plenty of road grip too

Following on the thread about tire pressure...

I went on the kapi-mana trail ride and the terrain had everything, steep rut, slippery as clay, mud holes, steams, hard pack, steep grassy, wet pine forest, you name it.

I rode my 690 with at least a half worn E07..I was a tad worried about grip, so I dropped the pressures way down 10, and I was amazed how well this tyre works!

I've pumped it back to 25ish.

...like the others, these tyres are quiet for a offroad capable tyre.

Eo7's any where from 15 to 23 k on the 1150Gs, Eo9's up to 9.5 k on the rear
both handle well on the seal & the 7's are pretty good in the wet on seal & gravel not so good in mud
I've been using these tyres for about the last 5 years

Yeah I have the same noise from my 07 tyres on my transalp..I decided it was the tyres not bearings etc..
Getting great mileage out of them..10,000km so far..

I'm getting about 10 - 11k out of my last two E07's on the rear of my 990. Running around 30 psi. But rear tyres are evil & they must be punished !

Cheers G.M.

I run 30 when using them on the beamer, as they tend to light up if you take off in a hurry
