After I had the chance to ride more than 5000km with Mitas 07 Plus I am ready to share my opinion. I believe that this could be the best motorcycle adventure tire.

Thank you so much
The scenery is never disappointing... another beautiful location... Enjoy living the dream!
Aaah the Coromandel Peninsula and Whangamata , The holiday destinations of most Aucklanders , absolutely lovely Summer holiday spots , cheers and safe travels Pavlin.
Good day Pavlin good to see that you are well enjoy the ride
That is a beautiful back drop. I'm currently running the E07+ on my Versys-X and am impressed. They have nearly the same grip as the TKC-80 on dirt and gravel while being smoother on the pavement. Enjoy seeing videos from out of the US. Thanks!
Thank you, my friend! You're living the dream!
Greetings from Czech rep. 😀 Thanks for another great video. I will definitely try plus version of M07.
Great video! Beautiful scenery. I was actually able to find that parking lot on Google Maps.
Spasibo! Nakonecto opredelilsja s rezinoj! Super!!!
Thanks for taking the time!

I have a set of Mitas E-07's on my MIGHTY SUZUKI DR 650 - And could not be happier with them. I ride in all types of terrain - and have over 3500 miles on them - with plenty of meat still left. Highly recommend them - no questions. Wonderful on the road, or off.
Cheers from Glendale, AZ
Can you lean over and really corner hard on these?
@@IAmYourReflectionI personally do not know - and I apologize. I do NOT want to mislead you. When I am on the street - I am fairly mellow. Just continue with your research. I would assume so - and they are great on the street - but want you to be safe more than anything. You may want to lean towards a Super Moto tire if you are looking for that kind of performance. I can tell you that they are indeed a true 50/50 tire for dirt & street. You may require something better for the road. Sorry for my reply - but your safety is more important to me than "bullshitting" you into something that is NOT safe.
Agree that these are great tyres and could very well be the best all round adventure tyres! They perform well in the dirt and are just fantastic in the wet - so good that other friends have swapped to them after riding with me on wet roads. I ride a lot of 2up and go through a back tyre in max 5000kms. But as you say, the front seems to last for ever - I am currently on my 3rd rear tyre with the same front. For adventure tyres, I like the phrase, “good in dirt, good in wet, long lasting - pick two”. I am ok with giving up on a long wearing tyre if I get both “good in dirt” & “good in wet” and they still last WAY longer than a TKC80 anyway.
Great view!
GREAT review - thanks! I saw this vid about a year ago and with your suggestion (and others on RUclips) I purchased the Mirtas E07 for my bike (390 lb ADV bike). I have been very pleased so far (about 2500km). We made a trip from Colorado to Utah last October, 2020, about 1/2 bitumen and 1/2 dirt/gravel. Excellent on everything. I did struggle in some deep sand, but so did the high end dirt bikes I was riding with - very deep, fine sand in the Moab area. Thanks again for your vids - always thoughtful and informative. -Ray, in SW Colorado.
My pleasure!
I've been there myself twice on my own rides. You've brought back memories. Nice to film. But if you are there, it will effect your soul forever. Important to check your tires. As important as the view.
I have just put this same tyre on my Tenere. I have used the previous version of the O7 on my DR650 when I had it. I have been very happy with them. On the Tenere I have a TKC80 on the front and it works quite ok.
What a view! Thanks for the insights, really learning about the best adv tyres right now. Especially happy that these are good in rain! Edit, almost forgot: Enjoy this beautiful trip and ride safe!
Glad to help!
You're in the best situation to do a review so thanks.
Saw this video about a year ago when I bought my RE Himalayan. Wanted to wear down my factory tyres first, but now I'm in the market for these tyres based on your recommendation. I hope you can come back to visit my beautiful country again here in New Zealand soon. :)
With a pleasure! Great place to ride a motorcycle!
That's the nicest backdrop to any tire video I've seen! Thanks for this review because I really wanted to know about their performance on wet roads. Reviews from dry places were not helping! I ride twisty roads where it rains and need dependable tires for that kind of surface.
Glad it was helpful!
Pavlin - Great Vid mate! Kia ora!
Whangamata ( Fong-ar-mar-tar ) - There ya go bro, now you are hereby crowned an Honorary Kiwi!
Cheers!
Thanks for taking the time, man!
I agree, Pavlin. Mitas 07+ are the best all terrain tires. Good for highway, nice and sticky on curves and in rain. Also good enough traction in dirt and mud. Best of all, long-lasting! My last rear lasted over 12,000 km, most on cement roads that eat through rubber.
Curves and rain give me nightmares. I'm really looking for a tire that's trustworthy on that kind of surface. Thanks for the tip.
Good review on a brand I don’t know about. Thanks.
On the other side, you said. Yes! Of The world!
Lovely views from the site your at , thanks for showing.
Mitas 07 plus, I won't forget. 👍🍻
I just put a set on my honda AT . Just did a 450 km ride on it on dirt and tarmac and impressed how they feel on the road.On the dirt, muddy it tracked well.
Good! Enjoy it!
For future reference: I just checked Mitas webpage, they are stating in the catalogue that
07 Will be replaced by Enduro and
07+ will be replaced by Enduro +
Very informative video, with the plenty of experience of yours. Thank you! Just ordered a pair.
should also be mentioned, that it is not the Dakar Version! The Dakar will give you a lot of mileage - but Nightmares on Rain and Cold.
I run the Mitas 07 “plus” on the DR 650 and the Mitas 07 on my Tiger 800. I’m my opinion, the closest thing to the best all purpose tyre.
Cheers Pavlin from Tasmania, keep up the good work 👌📸
Hobart Drone Images , can I ask what size tyre you are running on the rear of your DR650. Cheers Jim from Kianga NSW
Hi!
I am going to buy one of theese tire for my nx650, but i am a little bit confuse about the difference between E07 and 07plus.
Do you reccomend to put E07 front and E07+ rear? Or inversely? Or should i put the same to front and rear?
Also: am i right that 07+ is better for road use and 07 for mud, dirt etc...
I heard its very hard to put on the rim without a machine, is that true?
@@Aphrotate07 has smaller lugs compared to the plus. I had that question also, and finally figured it out
what a landscape!
Yes, it was great!
what a place :O superb !!
Different people have different feelings for different tyres. My own preference is TKC 70, but others might disagree. You have to go with what you trust.
Happy travels.
Great scenery too!
I had TKC 70 on the KLR in Australia. Great on the road, but not really on the dirt. Terrible in sand and mud.
@@motorcycleadventures Have to agree when it gets wet it does struggle. Dry, firm trails are fine tho.
The front TKC 80 wore really weird on my 1290 SAR. I finally changed it for an EO7 Dakar when it became so rough and squirrely I couldn't hack it anymore. Still had lots of knobs in the middle. I'm hoping the Mitas are better and still hook up offroad. The E07 on the rear has 5000 km and is only about 1/2 worn. Thanks to the excellent MTC on the Katoom.
Big fan of your videos. I learn so much. Regards from Berkeley California
Our tractor had chevron pattern tires and I always try and buy tires like that. I think they are hard to beat for excavation, but evacuation could of water is for Pilot.
I have this tyre on back and Goldentyre gt210 in front.
I feel very secure with this combination. Happy
Good!
Good review .. good view good bike
I’ve watched a lot of videos applauding these high priced tires and others like it. I encourage people to look at the 705 and 805 Shinko tires. People save yourself some money. They get great mileage and are durable. Around 100 usd +/-.
They're a soft tire. The front lasts but not the rear
Is there to much difference with your actual forks than with the original ones?. Great videos, thanks.
Greetings from South Africa Pavlin, I bought a set of Mitas E07 +, will fit them when my Karoo Street's are done … I hope to get 10k km on my Africa Twin, Thanks for another great video, you must come ride here in SA sometime, you won't be disappointed, Cheers!
first like from me :) cheers man!
Greetings from Portugal! Thanks for this usefull review. I'm also considering the Bridgestone AX-41. Can you make a review about it? Thanks.
I will do it when I have this chance.
Thanks for your feedback. I just cancelled my order for some AX41’s and ordered a set of these for my r1250gs. Fingers crossed they will work well on the heavier bike.
Glad I could help! Keep in mind that on a heavy bike like the GS the rear will finish in about 7 to 8,000km, especially if you ride fast. This shouldn't discourage you because when tire finishes quickly that only meant that it works well keeping your bike straight on the road.
Motorcycle Adventures Thankyou. That’s fine regarding mileage. I’m just hoping they still stick to the road and allow use of the throttle on the heavy R1250gs. I don’t mind tyres moving around on dirt, but like them more planted on the road. Time will tell.
They are very good on the road. I got mine in any condition, hot, cold, rain, ice...
Motorcycle Adventures After a lot of thought I ended up sending my new E-07+ tyres back yesterday. Two other GS owners, R1200gs and R1250GS, both said the on-road grip was marginal for the big heavy bike. The R1250GS rider showed me a video on his phone through Sydney traffic and under lite to moderate cornering he was losing the back end. Off road he said they were great. He returned to the Conti’s. The other person was a lady and she still has her tyres on the bike but suggested for someone like me who commutes 5 days a week (on twisty roads) and then wants to use the bike off-road on the weekend to get a stickier road tyre.
@@vtv8man there is a difference in de e07 and the e07+. Are you sure that they have the +? Because that sounds more like the normal e07.
I’ve been really happy with my motoz tractionator adventure tires. I believe they’re made in Australia... similar to a k60 but way better in the rain... I’ve heard a lot about the mitas eo7... I’ll have to get some on my next set of tires...
Great tyres. My 1290SA can chew through rear tyres. I’ve got 10,000km from my rear tyre, 5000km on pretty hard offroad (lots of rocks). They’re Australian design and technology but made in Thailand.
How does it handle aggressive cornering on the pavement?
@@IAmYourReflection my bike is a Klr 650, so I don’t do a lot/any real aggressive corners on the pavement.. just kinda the nature of the beast I think..
How did you get your bike to New Zealand? Those must be magical tires!
Good and earnest explanation thank you
We had Only 7000 km with the OEM Dunlop tires on my New 2019 Honda AfricaTwin
and both front and back are almost worn out 🤢
I am not impressed by the grip of the OEM tires and are now looking for new 50/50 ones
the AT are actually rather heavy
so we have come down to the Mitas E07+ or the new Dunlop Trailmax Mision
Glad it helped
I got a africa twin and i got a tkc 80 on the front and flip it when it starts to cup no issues with rotation its the same front and backwards . Them run the mitas e07plus , roughly 8k mikes . Great in sand and thats where the the trailmax will walk all over in sand not good and mud not good either .. mitas 7 plus hard twisties and sand and 8 k miles cant find anything close and prices is amazing .. motoz cracked and chucked rubber and Alott more money and dont last as long .. i got a ktm 890 and same set up tkc 80 front and mitas 7 plus all the way in two years i got 50 k miles on africa twin and i yr on ktm i got 18k and love the set up . Florida sand and BDRs and some single track in Washington state .. buy what makes you smile..
I got 10,000km on a much heavier and more powerful 1290SA, with the Motoz Tractionator. 5000km was in the Australian outback on stony and rocky surfaces that chewed up even my K60. The Motoz grip exceptionally well on wet asphalt and of course are extremely good offroad. I’ve used EO7, TKC80, and K60. On large Adventure bikes nothing comes close to Motoz. I can’t see why they wouldn’t be as good on lighter, less powerful bikes.
I never heard about it before.
Monté sur la gsa et super pneus tant en off-road que sur route. Certes l avant est bruyant à partir de 120 k/h mais je reprendrai les mêmes
For anyone looking for the Mitas E-07 Regular Version (Not +) go on E-bay, there are a lot of sets and single tyres left that shops are looking to sell, especially in Europe. I ordered 2 sets just in case they run out. A shame Mitas doesn't make the regular E07 any more, it's very rare...
Good to know.
Nice review pavlin😊
Glad you liked it!
@@motorcycleadventures actually not the first time i have seen it😊. But now i bought the tires for My Xt660z Do you run 130/80 r17
@@motorcycleadventures You actually also made me by My Xt660z. Love it. Thank you. You are just thrustworthy and Down to Earth 😊💪🏼
Yes, I run 130/80-17
I just ordered mitas 07 for mi xl1000 varadero thanks
The Dakar version
@mld Dakar version has stronger sidewalls.
Metzeler Sahara (3?) . DR650, 11000 miles, about 40% dirt roads.
Stock tires (Bridgestone?) were good for only 4000 miles.
Ok
Thank you. I will be replacing my Heidenau K60 with almost 18,000 klm on it with an E07+. K60 not the best off road. Cheers from Canada!
A VERY big difference between the two is the longevity. The E07+ wears out like crazy. Huge difference.
I've just mounted the 07+ Super curios how it will feel. For the front I'll put the normal 07.
thanks for the amazing video's!
Mitas sells these tires as tubeless (TL) tires. Do you have a tube installed? Or do you have tubeless type rims?
No, my tires are with tubes.
Does Motorcycle Adventures advise to put tubes into TL tyres?
All models of E-07 are TL but are suitable for use with or without tubes
I like that the front tire looks as grippy as the back tire. The problem with K60 scout or Motoz GPS is that the front tire is just worthless in any type of offroad. The rear is quite agressive (especially on the K60 m+s) but the front doesn't have any agressive profile at all, very shallow.
It is what it is!
@@motorcycleadventures maybe a combination of the two is worth trying!
That's why a lot of guys run a more aggressive front tire with those rears to keep the front from washing out in the loose stuff
Thanks for the video! May I ask, what pressure are you running the E07+ at?
2.2 BAR
Hello Pavlin! I am thinking to purchase these tyres for my new Transalp and I have one question: The tyres are marked as Tubeless Tyres, and you used them on your bike as Tube Tyres. Is there any Tube Tyre version of them or they are marked TL/TT ? Being Tubeless tyres, is there more likely to rub the inside tube on the side and make a flat more often?
No! You can use any tubeless tire with tubes.
@@motorcycleadventures Thanks a lot for your reply ! Between the Michelin Anakee Wild, TKC 80 I would really go for the Mitas 07+
Try Motoz Tractionator, they last, good all round and last! Yes I said that twice 🙂
Can you really lean them over and push them hard in the turns?
Pavlin, you should always wear a beard like this one :) cheers, mate!
I have it always when I travel but at home... my wife will kill me!
i have e07 on my freewind, and im thinking to get anakee adventure now, what do you think? Is worthed to go on anakee adventure or i should stick with mitas? Im also riding quite often on off-road, but not really hard i can say.
I never rode with Anake and cannot tell you that but if your trips have more than 20% dirt roads I will advice to go for Mitas.
hi Pavlin, so what do you suggest on the street mitas o7 or mitas o7+. Not talking about the dirt because i only do 80% street 20% dirt/gravel? thanks for the info.
Mitas 07 is perfectly fine, if you can find it.
Thank you about your opinion about the Mitas 07 Plus. Seems like they are really very good allrounders for adventure bikes. Now 2 Months later, do you have changed your opinion, or do you still like them so much ?
Liked/subscribed ! :)
Thanks for the good video. Keep up the good work ! :)
Thanks Chris!
Pavlin my friend, I’m planning to buy a Transalp xl700, its a good choige around here! Ride safe!
Yes
Hello Pavlin --- My riding is bout 80/20 --- Southeast Asia --- E-07+ make sense to you? We have a lot of rain. A lot! One issue, I cannot find a shop that has both front and back. Best I can do is E-07+ rear tire and E-07 front tire. Thoughts on that? Bike is Tiger 800 Xrx. Cheers!
It will work just fine
Stephen Romary , hi Stephen, how do you like the Tiger 800? Any problems to look out for if I was to purchase a 2nd hand one? Cheers Jim, Australia
Can you tell this bike has twin front disc compared to just the one on your bike?
I changed the forks on my bike
Where is that place, man? It's beautiful!

I ran a set of E07 Dakar front & rear on my F800GS & got 20K MILES out of the set. I loved them so much I bought another set to replace the first set. However, Mitas replaced the original E07 rear with the E07+, so I had no option to use the same rear that lasted 20K miles. I've now got 7K miles on the rear & it's almost done. Disappointing... But maybe I was spoiled in my first set. Did they change the compound on the "plus" to a softer rubber?
What I have to say that if the tire last 20,000 miles that is mean that the compound was to hard, or with simple words to much plastic. I will always prefer softer tire for better grip in any situation. Yes, it will be expensive, but how much your safety cost?
@@motorcycleadventures I agree that the new "plus" version of the rear might be a softer & grippier compound, which is good; however, I never had poor grip with the original. All things considered, I'll likely get another set of the same tire next time, as I love the performance.
Great review you put up, by the way. I love travel to find great views, especially up in the mountains & coastal cliffs.
hello Pavlin! what jacket you wear ?
Revit Poseidon
better than the E-09 ?
I love these tyres too, but they are so hard to install !
True
Ничего не понял но ЛАЙК!))
Спосибо!
What pressures did you run on the tkc 80’s? Ktm 690 here
2.2-2.5
I got plus version on my BMW F800GS. I have 3500km on them and they will warn out soon. Max 5000km. Very good tire, but you need to sacrifice with a mileage a lot. In Latvia we cant get old version on Mitas 07 anymore. Are they still producing them?
kawasaki KLE 500, 14000 km on them, rear warn, front give me some tousands :)
@@michalborza4087 I should mention. I drive 90% offroad. Lot of gravel roads. And I like to twist a throttle :)
On your adventures have you ever run into Noraly, Itchy Boots on RUclips?
Hello ... I am thinking of fitting the Mitas rear E07 + ... front E07 . are you still happy with them ? , I am in Thailand so the off road trax are either sandy and muddy depending on which season it is at the time ...I will appreciate your input :-)
Yes, absolutely! I still use them even at the moment. There is no difference between Mitas 07+ and Mitas 07 in the front tire. Rear is completely different. They are not perfect but okay on the mud.
@@motorcycleadventures Thank you for taking the time to answer my question I'll be ordering a set next month ..thx again much appreciated ...I think your Channel should be re named to " No Bullshit Motorcycle Adventures" you always give solid advice hence the NO Bullshit :-)
My pleasure!
What is it with the these literbike-range of adventure bikes ( africa twin included) in which the damn windshield is basically VERTICAL? This makes no sense to me. It's anti-aerodynamically efficient at higher speeds. YES..I KNOW..these bikes are meant for a good amount of offroad, but some use them for both offroad and interstate highway too.
I ordered this tyres for my suzuki dl650. Hope they are so good like say
They will be good.
@@motorcycleadventures 👍
diederic,how did the mitas tyres go?I've got mitas e07's to replace my k60's on a v-strom 650 also.
@@coconuciferanuts339 very good on and off road.... Only in the rain on asfalt not that great.... 4000km and stil looking like new! I'm very satisfied!
Putting them on my 20 V-Storm 650 tomorrow. Do they vibrate much on the highways or make noise?
Ну так 07 советуешь или эндуро 3 сахара? 10 января покупать хочу на априлиа пегасо 650 (перед 19 зад 17). Либо митас 07 дакар - перед и зад, либо мецеллер тоурэнс перед, зад эндуро 3 сахара
Это уже 07+ есть разницу.
@@motorcycleadventures There is a version of the DAKAR, or not?
The front wheel seems to be installed incorrectly. The direction of the tread should be the same as the rear wheel.
It is correct. On the front you need different forces.
I have these tires on my 990 - vibrates uncomfortably over 160 km/h. The e07 without the plus never did this even at 200km/h. They are good in the dirt and can handle rough terrain. Have you experienced the vibrations?
It's a dual sport not race tire.
Compared to the Continental TCK80?
TKC a bit better.
My experience running these tyres tubeless on a powerful bike ( ktm1090) has not been great. Had two front tyres, both had problems holding pressure, so they are ok only if using tubes. The rear was a much better tyre. No problem holding pressure, but after 5000 km they started to become slippery and felt unsafe on wet tarmac. Compound is pretty hard so they are long lasting and suitable for warm weather. I really like the design, as it is stable both on tarmac and gravel road, I wish they used a higher quality compound, like th much missed original tourance. They are not the best for a tubeless high power bike, but great for a single cilinder tube bike on harsh terrains in warmer weather. That's my experiences of it
Thanks for sharing!
Which is your favorite tire? At minute 5:22
TKC 80
Hi, What is the size of the tire? 07plus 140 or 150 ?
130
Motorcycle Adventures thx
You change motorbike?
No, it was given to me to ride in New Zealand.
Is this a 130 or 140 ar the rear?
these tires are good for off-road, but not for asphalt, especially in rainy weather in turns ,the best tires metzeler karoo 3, YES it is expensive but the best, most importantly my safety ..
Well, I used the tires in the rain, they were perfect.
Heidenau k60 seem to be similar
This is way better and cheaper
@@motorcycleadventures I understand but they look similar
I’ve had K60 on my 1290SA. Very durable, but on the larger sizes they have a centre band linking the blocks, and they lose traction in the wet. I prefer Motoz Tractionator. I get the same life, but they grip much better on all surfaces.

Thanks for watching!
Paradice Pavlin!
True! New Zealand is a great country!
@@motorcycleadventures And a great bike :D
то же себе такую смотрю а как она на асфальте мокром ведёт???
Отлично.
@@motorcycleadventures спасибо за ответ у меня тяжолый мот DR 650 RSE думаю будет нормальной?
Да, будет хорошо.
@@motorcycleadventures OK
No, I hate the 07 I really regret getting this road tyre. It is rubbish off road with no edge grip at all. The front tyre gives a huge amount of lateral movement off road. Bottom line is it is a great long distance road tyre. I would much rather choose the Mitas 09 instead. The 09 is a true 50/50 tyre the 07 is more like a 90 road/ 10 off-road tyre.
Fair enough!
I had a set of the eo 7 + on my multi. I hated the tire. Didn’t really like anything about them.
Fair enough, don't use it.
Just wondering what exactly you hated about the e07+.Bad on bitumen?
Dennis Burton
Good on the street. Didn’t really do good on any dirt unless it was hard packed dirt roads. Only got 2500 miles out of back tire. Just wasn’t a fan of them at all. Happy with my motoz. Good in all conditions and get plenty of miles out of them.
Hmm,thanks for reply Lou.Tyres certainly are a big issue with m/c.I s'pose alot comes down to how we ride.
Dennis Burton
Also where. Pretty much nothing is off limits for me.
Hi Why you say Bitumen ? just say asphalt !
It is the same
@@motorcycleadventures Yes but Bitumen is Technical/Chemical name . Asphalt is a common name that all people understand. Like you say "H2O" instead of saying "water "... ! In any case, i like your videos.
Thanks, man!
Mine make uneven whah whah noise
Interesting!
THis tire was perfect before they removed the center strip. Now the wear is shit
In my opinion now is way better! It wear faster because it has more rubber than plastic. The lack of center line helps for better traction on the dirt roads. The main purpose of any tire is to keep your motorcycle on the road. Wearing is a part of this process.
