I've been holding out on you guys.
I got this for Christmas and just now went out and took a picture.

 

[greg the pole]

Thanks for the info guys. I'm in Greg. Can't complain about a shipping cost premium. Would make me a big fat tire hypocrite.

I got unused tires in personal stock too. Not a bad thing to have.

you will not be disappointed

Nice eemsremo. By the looks of that tire it seems to have flatter profile thus distributing the weight across the tire for longer life. I hope it corners well.

corners very well. Air pressure is critical. 32 front 28 rear.

Was that a finger slip? Hard to imagine running 28 in a rear tire.

 

[greg the pole]

not a slip.
Heard it from the guy at mx1.
I've ran them at 32, and he told me that it was too much.

I have abut 1500 miles on a set picked up from MX1 and shipped to Colorado in August. I think I previously posted that I didn't care for them on grooved concrete which is a lot of my commute miles but after about 500 they calmed down and glad to report that adding dynabeads settled things down to almost no noticable wobble on the grooved concrete. They must have been a bit out of balance -not that we were drinking beer when we did the balancing ... no sir ... ::013::

On soft loose Colorado dirt roads these tires are awesome. I went with the 3 ply - I used to air down but with these tires I haven't bothered - they just let you get after it! TC0 and peg the fun meter!

 

[greg the pole]

I run dynabeads in mine.
1 oz for front, 2 for rear. good to go.

For anyone thinking of the Mitas E-07 tires they are back in stock at MX1 Canada as of today. Ordered a F&R Dakar for the next change.
I did talk to them and they have limited stock for the F&R at this time, and are expecting another shipment in the near future.

The shipping (to North Carolina) was $70 USD last time I checked and hard to justify when there are plenty of other options. Why isn't there a US distributor?

 

[Doug C]

There was but they apparently dropped the mc line of tires because it was less than 1% of their sales. Now it's one of the few good deals for those of us above the 49th parallel.

Thats a good question. Mitas shows lots of US dealers and distributors.
They are getting to be a good alternative to the Heidenau and I'm sure at some point motorcycle tires will also be stocked at the US dealers.
Look on the positive side, the 10% or so difference on the dollar eases the pain a bit. ::012::

Canada has cornered the NA market on these tires and are keeping them in an icy stranglehold. That and Labatt's Ice Blue beer, the bastadges.

 

[ridefire]

I was going to ask about the balancing with the dynabeads, is it all you do is put them and go ? nothing else to it ?

Well if you ever get the chance to travel up to the barren northern climes of Canada I'm sure we can scare you up a couple of each, beer and tires that is. ::013::

Once inside... nothing. The magic just happens. Be sure to check pressures with the stem in the 6 o'clock position or a rogue bead may jam the valve open with a rapid loss of air. Tap the stem just for giggles.
