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,

Check out my posts in the tyre survey. I'm getting 30000km out of front and rear, except on the last one (too much highway riding). Unfortunately, not available in Thailand.

Scary tyres
I put Mitas tyres on me Elefant last week - an E07 on the back & wanted to put an E07 on the front to but the bike shop cocked up and fitted an E08 instead....I think it was what they had in stock as opposed to what I asked for.
I hassled them about this & they said they would call me when they have an E07 front in stock & swap it.
I went for a ride with some mates in the weekend - the tyres appeared to be working OK on the tarmac until I braked for a one lane bridge..the front E08 washed out with no warning and dropped me on the deck at 80kph. Ouch. Didn't get around to playing in the dirt on my way home as the bike & I were somewhat battered.
Very unimpressed with this tyre. I used to run Michelin Anakees which have the same sort of road/trail bias as the E08 and the Anakees never let go, were very predictable and last.
If you want a tyre with 80/20 road/trail bias go for the Anakees - the E08 is dangerous.
Am a bit worried about the E07 that is coming now - if their supposedly road orienated tyre does this then what suprises does a chunkier tyre have in store for me?

I had a rear E-07 for more than 5000km on my old lc4. Brilliant tire with more than 14mm tread from new and no sign of wear after all the use on and off road.It will last for ages.
All that tread makes him heavier than most but I never had problems with traction.
