Tread Life of the Mitas E-07+ vs E-07 Dakar

- I recently swapped out my rear Mitas E-07+ tire for some new rubber. The tread wear was significantly less than I experienced with the previous tire, a Mitas E-07 Dakar.

6.7k (almost 7k) miles sounds pretty good for the non-dakar version of a close enough 50/50 tire. Seems like you didn't know quite what you bought when you bought this. But yeah, senter strip or dual compund would probably suit you better if you aren't going to go much off road. Hope the new tiers fit you great! Ride safe.
Any tyre with a 'centre stripe' will last longer than one with a full tread, but traction in mud and on wet roads will be compromised. the way I look at it in the rainy UK at that the Conti TKC 70 and the Hedi Scout will last longer, but you will wish that they didn't.
The UK Mitas importer makes it clear that the E07+ won't last as long as an E07 on the back of a big bike...but in my opinion it will last a lot longer than a TKC80, grip better than that tyre on the road and almost as well in most conditions except deep mud off the road.
But all these tyres are compromises: a 50/50 tyre is half as good as a road tyre on the road and half as good as an off-road tyre off the road.
Thank you for the comment Richard. I've been happy with my new Heidenau Scout. I stay out of the mud anyway. I've run the TKC80 on other bikes and while I felt like I could corner like a god in the dirt, that feeling was fleeting.
Currently having about 2500km (1500 miles) on E07+ Dakar. If I get 6000km out of my MITAS E07+ I'll be happy. That is about 4000miles for you southerners friends. I usually go through 2 back tires for 1 front. But then I again I like good old accelerations on my motorcycle and I am heavy on the throttle. Also riding a super tenere. So far the E07+ have been a real joy. All terrain, even some rough stuff. I prefer them to regular E07 on wet days. That center line on heidenau and regular E07 dont drain water very well at speed.
Thanks for the feedback. You must have a heavier throttle hand than I do!
Sounds like a honest review.Did it take long to run the e07+ rear tyre in?
Dennis Burton. They are a bit slippy first time on. Break in with about 100km / 60 miles of highway, gravel and offroad. At about 1000km / 600miles they were about perfect all around and very confidence inspiring. A little noisy on highway but not much more then every other 50/50 and knobbies
@@bigbang1985 Thanks for reply.Yeah,I'm about to put them on my v-strom replacing the k60's.They're a + rear & non + front.Noisy doesn't bother me.
I literally just bought a set of mitas e-07+ dakar tires off revzila they were only listed as e-07+ but in the description it specified dakar
Hey Keith, I just replaced my Shinko 804/805's with the Dunlop TrailMax Mission tires. I actually got about 14,000 km out of the Shinkos but have to say I quite like these TrailMax. I have never been a big fan of Dunlops before but they seem to be doing well. I have about 5,000 km on them and they have hardly any wear. About 20% of that has been dirt. They did extremely well in the rain.
I haven't heard of those Dunlops. I'll have to look into them for next time.
I had a F800 GS and ran Shinkos on it for a while. I switched to the Trail Max and never went back. It's a great tire. I didn't care for other Dunlops because they had a tendency to walk with the groves in the pavement on the cruisers I had them on. I was hesitant but once I tried the Trail Max I loved it.
I have 14000km on a set of trailmax missions mounted on Africa Twin AS. Still wear remaining (about 1/4" of tread depth remaining). They've been fantastic. Lots of gravel forestry, mining and farming roads. Definitely the best so far. I tried the K60 Scout, Motoz GPS Tractionator, and Battle something or other (worst tires ever).
Keith, I've used Continental "Battlewings" on both of my Super Teneres'. I do very little off road, almost all pavement. My current front has 14,000 and still at least another thousand miles left, the rear is at 8,900 and in excellent shape, too. Plan on changing out both when rear hits 10,000....
Thanks Richard. I do too much dirt road riding to trust the Battle Wings. It's good that some of the 50/50 tires get tread life that's not too far off from the stockers.
I just replaced a set of Shinko 705 with 15.000km and both were done!.
Now I have Mitas e07+ front and the Shinko 705 at the back... So good to know the front tire will last around 10k km.
Yes, you'll probably be okay on the front tire. Mine has held up pretty well.
AdventureswithMe, I might get back to a more road-oriented tyre next season. For local backroads and gravel, any tyre might work. Keep us posted on the TKC70s
I loved the e07 dakar on my AT. I got 14k miles out of the rear. I replaced the dakar with the + and didnt like it nearly as much. Mitas does offer the dakar in the 140 size but I believe the 150 has been discontinued. I do have the 140 size on my 690 and really like it!
14,000 miles is outstanding. I have only had my Heidenau Scout on for 2,000 miles so far.
Hey How Is the E07 Dakar behavior on wet Pavement in comparison with the E07+
K60 I found to be a good tyre, good all rounded if you keep it out of really muddy tracks, take it steady on wet roads, and it should be fine for you.
Thanks...I've had really good success with the K60. I love it. I've also kept it out of the mud too!
I have a E07+ dakar on the rear of my GSA1200 - 5000km and the blocks are tearing away! Any one else have this issue?
I'm currently running the E07 Dakar on My '12 Vstrom , my Wife is running the K60 on her bike. I seem to have a bit better traction if we get into the slick stuff, Hers with the center ridge doesn't hook-up as well. Just what I have noticed. We are definitely doing 50/50 terrain
sounds like my experience too Daniel. None of these tires will do well in the mud, so I try to avoid that with my Super Tenere. So far my K60 Scout is holding up extremely well. Barely shows any wear.
I hate any tire with a solid center, they are great for wear but suck as far as dirt and mud traction. E07s are my favorite but I just recently installed E10s.
I agree completely. I also had the E07 Dakar which lasted considerable longer than the E07+. Great grip with both tires but the longevity of the original E07 is superior.
Absolutely. I'm working on my Heidenau K-60 Scout and anxious to see how that compares.
@Richard, any issues on wet Tarmac with Dakar?
No problem with wet traction but I also adjust my riding style when the roads are wet.
Traitor 😉 I ride my Mitas E07 + tire right down to the tread indicator mark before replacing.
lol, well, this one didn't seem to have a lot left and I'd rather err on the side of caution.
E07+ on the rear on a versys-x (180kg, 300cc). Around 16000km so far with many little "injuries" on the tire due to some off-roading but I estimate it is still good for another 4000km or so. How is the K60 when the road is wet?
I haven't had any type of slippage with the K-60 on wet roads or otherwise. Very solid tire.
I had the K-60 on the back of my R1200 GSA and they were HORRIBLE on wet pavement!
Do you have same vibration on low speed with new tires?
No, I haven't noticed any difference with vibration at all.
Any update on the Heidenau? Liking them better than the E-07 Dakar?
I really liked the Heidenau K-60 Scout I had on the back. It has 11,000 miles on it and is going to get replaced next week. The problem was that I started using the bike for commuting a lot more and at 100 miles a day it really wore the tire down. I am switching to Anakee 3's because of all the highway mileage.
But I would absolutely recommend the Heidenau's.
Just to confirm, the S10 comes with tubeless tires as standard?
yes, the S-10 tires are tubeless from the factory. Sorry for the delay in responding.
@@AdventuresWithMe00 No worries. Thanks for the feedback
Hi Sir do u have videos how to remove the wheel from the 2013 St1200
Thank you
No, I don't. I know there are a lot of videos on RUclips on how to break a bead and use tire tools to remove a tire from the rim.
Is Victoria still riding? Hope all is well........peace
Yes, she is still riding, having a good season. We've been talking about getting together to do another video. Just couldn't get our schedules together this year. Thanks a lot for asking!
@@AdventuresWithMe00 Good to hear! ......peace
@@AdventuresWithMe00 Good to hear!......peace
the scout front is SOOOOO noisy compared to MITAS. I stick to mitas.
The new 07 are not as good as the old one we are running both types mine is the older type so far its on 14000km the 660 has the new type not as good the Dakar tyer is much better ride safe
Thanks for the comment Erik. Even Mitas says on the website that the E-07+ tires don't last as long as the yellow stripe Dakars.
Hello lol.
hello Ben!
