I've got the E09 and E10 Dakar. They last a lot but be careful if the tarmak is wet.

what kind of km are you getting out of the rear Jamie?
my last knobby tire was on my v-strom 1000, rear lasted exactly 1500km (kenda big block)

I don't know yet. It's the first time I've got the Mitas.
I wanted to try it because I need some hard tyres to go to Morocco at the end of the month. Last time I went with the Karoo and in less than 3000 km they were completely destroyed.
I’ve got about 1000km mostly off road in the Mitas AC09Dakar and it looks really well. I think is going to be very good in the hard and rocky Morocco soil.
As I told you, the only problem with this knobby hard tyre is in wet asphalt, it slips very easy.

I will keep a detailed write up of the dakars as well
