MITAS E07 + TYRE TEST 

Hey thanks Brian appreciated!

Great review. I've been using these tyres for a number of years on my 650 Vstrom and my Super Tenere. I've now swapped the Super Tenere for a KTM 890 Adventure and I intend using the E07+'s on it. 😊

thanks mate appreciate it

Thanks mate I appreciate it!

Cheers appreciate it!

Glad you like them! Yes pretty versatile tyre

Cheers mate, wow you must have some cool places to ride!

They are totally brilliant. On my 21 690 I have scrubbed all the hero blobs off front and rear. Now I have the E07+ on the rear which is a better all round off-tyre but it grips fantastically on the road. I agree with Chris Birch when he says "these are not 50/50 tyres but 80/80 tyres."

​@James Fairmind tnx😊. I'm not sure which one to buy for the rear E07 or E07+. I need tyre 120/90-17, but E07+ exists only in dimensions 130/80-17. :/ And I am not a fan of changing sth that smarter people than me defined :) So I can buy E07 120/90-17 or E07+ 130/80-17.

@@DJJellenak These are my thoughts, assuming you need the extra off-road ability of the EO7+ over the E07, then talk to a tyre expert and see if you can use the 130/80-17 so you can use the EO7+. I expect that you can but if for some technical clearance reason you can't, then the EO7 is still a fantastic tyre and if you are more road biased, it will give you more mileage due to the central strip. It just stops being really grippy off-road around 3500 miles on a 690 but still OK ish to get you through. It just depends what kind of riding you mainly do and how dry, wet or sandy etc. Ultimately both bloody good tyres.

​@jamesfairmind2247 I thought E07 has better off-road ability than E07+ No, not send, just road and little bit of off-road. I thought E07+ is better for road and that it has better cornering ability because it has more rounded profile.

@@jamesfairmind2247 tnx for sharing your opinion :)

Thanks I appreciate the kind words. Yes I will buy these again. I'm doing a 7000km ride in August to Cape York and will run these tyres. And yes I will give a km report once used for a good distance.

No worries mate hope it helps with a future tyre choice

Thx Frank!

I forgot to mention I got close to 10,000km the last time I used one on my Tiger. Great tyre with good wearing, and as you can see pretty versatile!

Oh awesome thanks for the advice! Glad you enjoyed the video

Thank you!

Thanks mate!

Thanks for sharing thats awesome!

Great to hear!

Glad you enjoyed it

Your welcome

Cheers Steve great feedback!

I had the E10's and they wore really quickly, about 3,500km (rear). The E09 was twice that and good grip too. If I'm doing more off tarmac stuff I use the E09 and for long distance touring + gravel the E07+

ahhh good tip on the Dakar, thanks for that advice I will certainly look into it. Great tyre.

@@oldmanspeedadventures Personally unless I was doing a big desert trip like the Simpson I would not fit one, I would stick to the E07+.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have one on the rear and 07 Dakar on the front, only because I couldn’t get a 07+ for the front. I have seen a review that mentions the Dakar is not the best on wet asphalt. I have recently ridden 4000 kms through Morocco, including some in the south of Spain and Portugal. In dry conditions on asphalt, soft dirt, gravel, rocks and loose stones they performed well. Also they are giving good mileage.

that's awesome and sounds like an awesome ride! Great to hear from other riders that used the tyres, thanks!

Cheers mate thanks for the tip!

Glad you liked it, 36psi on road and that off road day was 32 front and back, hope that helps

No I haven't used them, Im sure being a Dunlop they must be decent! I am stoked you liked the vid!

Yes pretty decent tyre, I haven't ridden in the rain as yet, just wet roads, pretty happy with most conditions

Never road it in the rain, I have been told "not good" sorry!

Nice combo, I used a Pirelli Rallycross front last year also worked well, thanks for the comment!

Firstly thanks for watching and your input in the comments, I love the feedback! Traction control I'm not much of a bitumen guru so I never push the 1290 real hard to where the TC is a factor, however in the dirt, as I'm a motocrosser, I hate it! Generally I just ride in Street Mode nearly everywhere, I've tried the off road mode but the power is still regulated by the right hand! Pressures, if I'm doing a road only I'll run high 30's, off road if I could be bothered I may drop them to 30 psi. However, in June this year I'm doing the Simpson Desert, and yes I'll vlog it, I'll drop to mid 20's for the 600km of sand dunes and Desert! Thanks again! I actually just bought a Oxford Montreal 4.0 jacket, I figure if it's designed and built in the UK it has to well and truly cover me here in Oz!

@@oldmanspeedadventures Thanks...keep the vids coming!

Great feedback yes I find them great on the road, and I actually ride quite conservatively in the dirt despite the "highlight reels" in my videos! Thanks for the comment!

No tire is gonna give you grip in loose gravel

@@mbal4052 all about technique and tyre combo

@@oldmanspeedadventures so true! And thanks for the videos 😁

Cheers mate I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad you see the point of the video demonstrating how good these tyres are when pushed hard, so for basic to intermediate they will be fine! Ride safe my friend!

@@oldmanspeedadventures I forgot to ask you one small detail: what tire pressures you were running at the time of this video (Fr & Rr)? Thank you!

@@porlalibre2830 32psi front and back

Yes I agree pretty useless in the mud! I too now lean towards a more aggressive tyre and tolerate the noise

@@oldmanspeedadventures what do you plan to run? From my research everything seams to be wearing out pretty quickly. I would get the MotoZ RallZ but Europe market is small. Bridgestone ax41 seems perfect but almost zero lifetime. Michelin anakee wild seems to be good middle ground 🤔

@@lubox_adv I did a video after a 4500km ride on the Motoz Tractionator Desert HT they were awesome, check the vid. Just sold my 1290 new bike comes with Metzeler Karoo 4 so I'll do a review on them soon.

youll go 160 on the dr with these!

I buy thru www.mxstore.com.au Australia wide delivery and I fit them myself

Thanks for the advice I haven't done much wet weather riding on this tyre, I will take it easy when that occurs!

thanks Greg yes suprisingly the front works quite well, I had no issues with the rear

That day I had 30psi front and back. Generally I run 38psi for 99% of my riding

@@oldmanspeedadventures I run mine at 32 for daily and down to 24 for 'off road'. I had a slow leak on the front once and it went down to 12 and didn't come off the rims. Not a great idea of course but interesting performance. If you run them at too high pressure the centre wears more quickly (same with any tyre) because there is less surface contact.

I will do a test soon. Currently riding Motoz Desert.

Yep will do 100% as mentioned elsewhere I used the e07 to the Cape last year, did approx 10,000km on the rear! Most of that 2 up on the Tiger

I use them on a Scrambler 1200 and performance was good to the end (10,000km though could have got another 1,000 in a pinch). Obviously the more the tread wears the less grip in dirt/sand/mud same as any tyre but good in gravel all the way and great on tarmac all the way too.

What motoz tractionators are / were u using please? & how were they on wet roads please?

someone just said the tyre is ugly, haha

To be brutally honest at this stage the road riding I have done the e07 seems great, I've done several mountain rides on sealed roads and they are a confident tyre. Hope that helps, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid!

Thanks, very helpful.

What is green laning?

@@oldmanspeedadventures riding off road in the UK.

@@mark.e.p or strictly speaking riding on old roads that no one bothered to tarmac...surfaces can be anything from mud to stone.

Pretty good but there are better tyres for harder trails

The Eo7 is not good in mud. Maybe try the Motoz tyres

@@oldmanspeedadventures Thanks I will try to find here in India

Yes. I've done about 3000km so far and still performing very well

Thats decent miles!

Interesting I've been told by a few now that they struggle in the wet, thanks for letting us know!

agree
