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,
