There are no stupid questions, only stupid people
reg. the E07s. I'm on my 5th rear E07. On average I get 8km. On a good tire i'll get 11k (but I have to groove the center strip with a tire tool).Madhatter said:I am thinking of trying the avons as my next tire, so called 50/50 looks a little bit more street to me . say 60/40 street to dirt, as where I live is mostly paved over and only occasionally getting on gravel, thought I might move slightly more street....I am currently trying to wear out a set of mitas eo7 dakars, they are not cooperating , probably be 6 more months and 6k more miles to kill them... that would be well over 10k in milage , just don't like how they feel at speed , wiggle and worry shimmy and shake is the dance they like at speed... never felt that with the OEM that came with the bike or the k60s ... I think when its all done we all will find that the k60s are the best tire ever made for this bike... well not the worst tire in any case.... so the search continues for the perfect tire to match the perfect bike we all ride.... I could be tempted to try some of the other mitas tires that are more knobby, maybe they don't wiggle when you cross over the center strip as you pass slower traffic....
If you keep the tire pressure at 34/32 PSI. I have confidence in the tires on the street.
they aren't street tires, and will move a bit more than a street tire. It will also make more noise.
If you go with a more aggressive tire than the E07, you'll go even further in the off road direction, increase noise, and movement.
K60s are a much harder compound tire. And I find them extremely sketchy in the rain. Not my 1st choice.
