Mitas E07 discontinued
I'd settled on a set of Mitas E07s for my 650, with the hope of them lasting 10,000
All of a sudden the 130/80/17 size seems to have been pulled from all the popular tyre websites. Mytyres, tyreleader, oponeo etc..
Doesn't anyone know if they've been discontinued at all?

I just pulled off a set of Dakar E07's from my Vstrom. Got over 10,000 miles on them easily, and they still had several thousand more to give if needed.

I managed to buy a set direct from a Mitas importer in the UK in the end.
Strange that other sites stopped listing them though. Perhaps there was a temporary shortage.
Got 3,000 miles on the rear so far over a mixture of dirt/rock/gravel and sealed road. It's worn so that there is a continuous middle band now.
Up front I've got a TKC80. It's an interesting combination.

Don't know what the manufacturer is doing, but I just bought an E07 130 80 x 17 for my Suzuki DR650 2 weeks ago at a dealer in Denver, Colorado.

Does that make the new ones I have in the shed more desirable and valuable then ?

Probably not.....
I just bought a set straight from the manufacturer, over in Slovenia ( I live right on the border) .
Funnily enough I thought they were made in the czech republic , but they seem to have been bought up by SAVA, and are now being made over here instead.
Great tyres by the way. Love them.
