Like to hear some milages and quick performance reviews now that the tire has been out awhile.
I can believe it. The E07 tires weigh 1/3rd to double compared to some of the other tires. And the compound is very hard. Traction, braking, and handling are going to suffer with this tire when compared to a softer compound tread.I can'be believe the distance you guys get out of tires. Impressive
I have quite a few dual sport miles on chevron style tread tires. Every single one of them has close to the same handling characteristic. The E07 is not much different than any other tire that has the same tread pattern.Chris, how many miles have you personally gotten our of an E07?
I would say the + is softer than the E07. My only traction issues are loose rocky inclines, ice, snow and mud.I can believe it.

So you are saying you have never ran an actual Mitas E07+?I have quite a few dual sport miles on chevron style tread tires. Every single one of them has close to the same handling characteristic. The E07 is not much different than any other tire that has the same tread pattern.
A very important thing to note is a lightweight bike is much more forgiving than a heavy one. I know with 100% certainty that my meager skill level will outride the traction of this tire. I have a certain riding style that I enjoy and feel safe. I am simply pointing out to fellow riders that there is always a compromise when we run certain types of tires.
For the same exact reason that someone who has never had experience with specific round, smooth 100% street tire would comment on the danger of using it in a deep sand wash.So you are saying you have never ran an actual Mitas E07+?
I am just curious as why you would comment on a specific tire when you have zero personal experience with that tire.
What other tires have a Chevron pattern? I'm not familar with any. What were the Chevron style tires you tried?I have quite a few dual sport miles on chevron style tread tires.

The question wasn’t what you run and/or why. Go back and read the OP’s question.I'm not a mile cruncher. The type of riding I have done (and hopefully will do in the future) demands I get the very best performance as possible. For some performance is rated in longevity. For others, performance is rated in the grip of the tire.

For yourself and a few others my statement of facts may not be credible. That's cool. I do think it's important for riders to know advantage/disadvantage of these tires. An individual does not have to actually ride on this tire to know what they are getting themselves into.The question wasn’t what you run and/or why. Go back and read the OP’s question.
We all have different riding styles, skill levels, and other factors. I want to hear people’s opinions/mileages has on this specific tire on my specific bike.
To offer your opinion on a stereotypical tire on a different bike doesn’t give much credibility in a review.
