I use mitas on my BMW R80gs and find them excellent I am using the mitas E08 which is a bit more road orientated but still a cross use tyre. It gives excellent grip on tarmac in the dry and the grip is good to very good in the wet. I have used them extensively in very low temperatures in Norway in early May, with no problems whatsoever, I have since used them on motorway and back road s two up with luggage in very very wet weather through UK, Germany and Denmark I find a bit more care needed when heavily laden in the wet but no drama. The tyres seem to perform very well on loose gravel tracks but I have not used them in mud yet. They appear to show little signs of wear and have covered about 10000kms and I think they will easily do the same again. The tyres have a nice round profile and give great feel in cornering with a smooth roll in as you lean over. I would rate them way above some well known branded makes I have tried. I believe the E07/E09 are more pure dirt orientated and are excellent but noisy and bumpy on the tarmac according to a guy I had spoken to. I think price wise the tyres are far cheaper than Metzler, Pirelli and continentals all of which I have tried and on my bike with my style of riding the Mitas seems the best of the bunch.

Very good Jake,

Here, they are more expensive then the Pirelli or anothers, Mitas are cheaper then Michelin, and Continental we don't have to buy.

I'll try to put one of the E-09 to my trip to Atacama Desert and Quebrada de Huamahuaca, at North of Argentina.

After all, as I have some information, I'll put here.

Regards,

I have been using Mitas E-07s on my F650GS for three years now, and getting really amazing milage. Fronts seem to never wear out.....well more than 25,000km and the backs I am getting about 15,000km. I'm also very happy with the wet weather performance, even though I have heard they are not so good on wet roads. I have many times ridden around friends on road bikes, with road tires on wet corners.

In New Zealand they are one of the cheapest tires too.

Good to see it Nigel,

These tires are new in Brazil, then anybody knows if they are good.

I'm roading with Michelin Anakee now, and it's terrible on dirt roads.

Well, let's see how they are on trips...

I have a Mitas E-something front on the outfit. 8000 miles and looks like new. A Bridgestone at this mileage would be squared off, scuffed and ready for the tip. I like 'em.

That's amazing,I've just finished with a rear EO-7 and only got 5,000kms out of it and I ride quite sedately.I found the profile very flat as in the above photo and found it tended to handle strangely ( weaving ) when it went from upright to lean.Saying that,I've just ordered a pair of EO-9's as I've heard good things about them.Here's a thread that might interest you.

Thanks Andrew,

As I saw all the information I decided to buy a pair for me.

In the end of the year I'll go to Atacama Desert, I'll get some pics during the trip to put in the site when I come back.

Regards,
