A couple of people have asked me to create a "dummies guide" to the Mitas tyre range ;D LOL. So here goes:
Mitas E-07: The E-07 has become one of the most highly rated 50/50 dual sport tyres internationally and has been used on many "around the world" trips with outstanding reviews. Over 20 000 kms is not unheard of on this tyre with the average service life probably around 15 000 kms (however this is VERY dependend on your right wrist
). If you are looking for the best 50/50 dual sport tyre, then your search is over! This Tyre will suite most dual sport bikes supporting 130 & 140 size tyres and it has also been used on large bore bikes that normally use 150 size tyres like the KTM990 due to its larger size. (150
Mitas E08: The E-08 offers high levels of on road traction and handling with surprising offroad capabilities. This coupled with an incredible service life and value for money makes this tyre a massive seller internationally! 80/20 (on-road/offroad)
Mitas E-09 Dakar: If you are looking for a tyre that offers great traction and handling in the most demanding terrain and yet also offers good mileage on the road, then the E-09 is for you! The E-09 offers incredible offroad performance as it has proved in the Dakar numerous times, yet it also somehow outlasts all its competitors! You will not find a better value for money "knobbly" for your Adventure bike! I have a Angola trip report back from someone on a BMW 1200GS with 6500 kms and still +- 50% tread left !
Mitas E-10: The Charlie Boorman choice :thumleft:. The new Mitas E-10 tread has been developed specifically as a universal Dual Sport tyre for the big bore dualsport bikes like the BMW GS 1200 and Yamaha 1200 Super Tenere. Thanks to its tread pattern, the E-10 is suitable for use on and off road offering high milage on and offroad with tests in Europe and North Africa indicating milage between 8 and 10 000 kms. It is probably the best Dual Sport tyre for big-bore bikes on the market. All sizes will be available only in category T (speeds of up to 210 km/h).
