send me tires. i'll be glad to 'field test' them for you! i prefer 150-70-17 and 90-90-21 for the f800gs.
do you have anyone running a trials tire on an enduro? I have a Dunlop 806/803? on my EXC, and love the all around traction (except in deep sand). But, I tore most of the center lugs off running fast on hardpack, I probably have about 300 miles on it. I know the tire was not made for what I did with it, but I really like the traction and feel the trials tire has.
i'm running a kenda big block up front and an almost burnt heidi k60 scout out back...in fact it'll probably pulled off this week for an upcoming trip and replaced with a big block out back.
I wonder if that E - 07 Dakar will hold up as an all purpose tire on a RTW trip - I'll need good traction in sand as my bike is a pig 83 R100rt, and still be able to run over the macadam without burning it down to a donut . Sizes 120/18 rear and 100/19 front What do you think there, Danny Boy ? James
Hi James ... let me think about your item ... Will be back in the office at friday... ( need to check the necessary datas of u´r bike first )
Don't drink to much of that cheap Ozi beer or you'll get a "Gösser Gut" I think that's how you say it..... James
E-10 or E-07 rear is on my want list The big blocks I mounted a couple months ago are not going to last, like the performance but they are hammered with only about 700 miles on them. Not asking for Chinese priced tires, not wanting Mefo until they can get them to stop shedding knobs. Looking for a rear tire soon, 18" for my KTM LC4. What do you have, shipped to the US? I don't facebook, ADV is my "social network"
O.K. I just read this whole thread and spent the last 10min trying to find a place to purchase a E-07 in the states. Nothing. We've got an elusive guy, seemingly toying with the ADV inmates. Bill trying (amazing patience BTW) to help him. WTF Do you want to sell us tires or not!! Sheesh, maybe it's a "new" way to market stuff?? Piss off and confuse the customer?!!?!?!? I'll check back in, after the K60 I just ordered wears out. Cheers, S.
I would like an E07 to try as a replacement for my tkc 80 rear 150/70/17. I M me for the address to send it to. thanks
Ok....Mitas Man. I'll match that Chinese price + $10 (US) for either version (E07, E09, E10) and post a thorough test right here in this thread for the whole world to see. But you do have to actually produce them and ship them to me. Cutting and pasting the photos onto my existing used tires has not gained me any useful life. You do make tires, no? HF
what is happening with the E07 tread design? older tires show a nice wear bar at the end of life, thus wearing alot longer. New tires do not have this. Is this in certain sizes (130-17" has it and 140/150-17' do not) or on all new E07? https://www.google.com/imgres?imgur...puTuuPFoqnsAKK6pTcCQ&ved=0CCcQ9QEwBA&dur=2928
Hello Guys ,.... pls allow me to come back later to find an answer to all of your questions. + ... eakins.... ... we need to talk
I just put a 140/80/17 E09 Dakar rear on my 800gs, replacing a kenda big block that only lasted 2000 miles. I ordered it from midasmx.com, and is arrived pretty quickly and I got several confirmation/shipping emails. Overall, I thought the transaction was pretty smooth, but I DO have a few concerns: 1st, I have a VERY VERY hard time doing business with a company with no phone number. I challenge any of you to find one on the website, it isnt there. That alone may keep me from ordering another tire from there. 2nd, the tire was 3 years old. week 33 of 08 build date. makes me nervous. finaly, please, please make (and advertise on the web) an e09 in 150/70/17. I feel better running the proper size. I've read that people have had good luck with this tire, and I feel like the $120 price point is just right for a tire that will hopefully give me 2000+ miles of off road performance on my F800, we'll see how it progresses, I'll keep everyone updated.
We, Mr. Ed's Moto replied(PM) to Mitas about 2 weeks ago with answers to all his questions regarding dealers. What dealers need in the way of inventory, dealer support, advertising and priceing. So far NO REPLY. Must be a soft sell. We get good support from Michelin, Avon, Dunlop, Pirreli, Shinko, Mefo, Etc. Maybe Mitas just does not have the volume to support sales in the USA.

I won't be buying one of these tires any time soon if ever, when the vender starts a thread, and then doesn't respond to questions.
