Thanks for the correction/clarification.
Did I see a review somewhere you did on Metzler Karoo 3’s?
Also... emailed Mitas, got a response and responded back. I’ll post up when I hear back.
Here it is... Basically no more of the original E07 size for the Tenere. Not posted...I was told there is one non-Dakar left I could get (not two as stated below). Am I possibly getting the last original E07 150/70-17
? They are to get back to me on cost to get to to me.
Here's the response...
Thanks for your e mail regarding the E-07 / E-07+ Tyres, unfortunately Mitas have no intention of producing the E-07 as the E-07+ was the replacement in various sizes, the 150/70-17 being one of them.
The big market for these tyres is in South Africa and Australia where they are extremely popular and these markets influenced the change from the E-07 pattern with the wider spacing offering better grip in adverse conditions. The E-07 was criticised for being too road biased so very intensive testing over many months in South Africa resulted in the development of the E-07+.
If you are interested I still have a couple of the E-07 Tyres in size 150/70-17 but these will be the last available.
