new favorite tire for ADV riding
Mitas E-07 Dakar. These are 4-ply, bias-ply construction, 50/50 tread pattern. I chose the 4-ply Dakar model because I ride the bike heavy in demanding conditions. 4,000 miles on these now and loving them.
Tire pressure is really important to me. So I check frequently and carry a dial gauge and pump to adjust it. My settings are: F/R - Solo: 32/36, fully loaded tarmac: 36/42, fully loaded dirt: 32/38. I’ve thrown every kind of riding I do at them and they are better in every respect than any other tire I’ve run. That list includes the OEM Bridgestone Battlewings, Heidenau K60s, and Conti Trail Attack 2. All good tires, but I think I’ve found a new favorite.
Most of those miles were from a recent trip in Idaho, 2-up, fully loaded, on a Yamaha Super Tenere. Road types included interstate freeways with 80 MPH speed limits, twisty mountain roads, and rough dirt roads. In no conditions did they give a hint of slipping, and we wore these out to edges. No molding nubs remain.
When brand new, they wandered on rain-grooved highways. Now that the lug edges are no longer sharp, the tires track better on grooved roadway.

The best 50/50 tire!
There is a lot of noise around the Heidenau Scouts and although those K60s are good tires, the Mitas E-07s outperform them in every way. Grippier in gravel, smoother on pavement, less noisy at speed, and zero break in period. Those that haven't tried these will no doubt stick with the Heidenaus because that's all they know. Those that used to have Heidi's and made the switch to E-07s will never look back.

Pretty sweet!
I put these on my 2014 Tiger 800 "roadie" because the stock tires are no good for any kind of serious off-road use. I'm a beginner when it comes to off-road riding, but these tires have me feeling a lot more comfortable and confident. They start to hum around 30 mph, but they aren't loud. The hum sounds kind of like an air raid siren (think Black Sabbath's War Pigs) which is fine by me.
Handling (my opinion of course):
Dry pavement - Very good! Better than I expected.
Wet pavement - Good. I've had no problems.
Dirt roads - Excellent.
Mud and sand - They'll get you through it, but are a little squirrelly.
Loose gravel and crushed stone - Great. No problems whatever.
Grass - Excellent.
I don't ride like a hooligan, but I like to have fun and these tires really do perform well in the twisties. They feel different than a road tire, but I got used to them quickly and have no problem leaning into turns the same way I did with the stock tires. They cruise just fine. I've had the front tire on for 2500 miles and it's showing very little wear. I had to replace the rear tire after only 1000 miles because I noticed a tear in the sidewall. The newer rear tire shows very little wear.
I mostly ride on pavement, but I like having the option to explore without worrying about getting stuck or losing control. With these tires I can go just about anywhere my skill level allows.
My only complaint about them is that they feel a tad wobbly at speeds above 80mph. It's not frightening or anything, but let's just say I don't go hitting 100+ for a quick thrill so much anymore. That's probably not a bad thing though.
Buy them!

Best dual sport tire in its class
The E07 rear is a terrific balance of longevity and offroad performance. It's an excellent choice for riders who log a lot of pavement miles maybe commuting or getting to the trails, and love to rip it in the dirt,
And IMHO the EO7 rear is the best tire out there for a long distance international adventure ride. when longevity is important because of the difficulty sourcing tires, and offroad capabilities are equally important, especially on a loaded adv bike in challenging terrain.
I installed an E07 rear (paired with a TKC80 front) on my DR650 in Nairobi, Kenya and proceeded north into Ethiopia over a lot of rugged dirt roads -- deep sand, big rocks, dry bed river crossings, endless bush tracks. (No mud to speak of, but I'm confident the E07 rear would have been fine).
I was really happy with the off-road performance of the E07 rear. Once out of Ethiopia, my route through Sudan and Egypt was virtually all tar. I'd put 5000+ mis on the E07 rear by the time I reached Greece, and estimate the tire would have gone another 4,000+ before needing a change.
I've also run the Heidenau K60 and while longevity might be a bit longer than the E07, it's not as capable offroad. And the Heidy felt heavy and luggy on my DR, compared to the nimble and responsive feeling of the E07.
A TKC 80 rear will outperform a Mitas E07 offroad, but it's pretty much toast after 3000 mis.
When it's time for a new rear tire, I'll be getting another Mitas E07.

Great for the R1200GS
Have had these for 3000 miles. They show very little wear thanks to the center rib. at 3000 miles the tread is just into this center rib. Hooks up extremely well in the wet on pavement, handles heavy loads very well, braking and overall street performance is as good as the Metzlers that came with the GS. Off road is really good. Self cleaning and good cornering. One heck of an all around tire. The E07 Dakar is what I have on the front and rear. Would DEFINATELY buy another set. BTW....they balance very easily with beads so you can ditch the stupid stick on weights. Quit reading this, buy them and mount them yourself. Easy decision....or you can surf the web all day and stick with what all the bloggers/posers recommend for the GS.

Solid 50/50 tire
I commute to work 35 miles on the Interstate and these ride smooth. On dirt and gravel these have plenty of traction. I have not ran them through mud or sand. Wet traction is ok, but I ride conservatively when it's wet. I did have traction control activate once while accelerating from a red light on a wet street. At the rate I'm going, I'm expecting to get about 3500+ miles out of the rear tire. The front will probably last twice that. For the money, I'd probably buy these again.
Also, I change my own tires and didn't find these tires hard to work with.

Another great 50% / 50% Alternative to Heidenau K60
Like many other, I was looking for a 50% / 50% on-off road tire for my 2011 BMW F650GS Twin. I was not thrilled about the Heidenau center line reviews so I went with the Mitas E-07. Great overall traction and wear. This is my second set for rear wheel. The new 140/80-17 size Mitas, has a modified center line. I am not concerned as it sits 2-3 mm. below the tire chevron pattern. I am thrilled REVZILLA is stocking the Mitas E-07. Keep them coming. This is a great tire.

Great So Far
Went on easier than expected. Used a Baja No Pinch Tool to get it on. Grip feels good so far and I haven't experienced any change in noise or feel on the road. Off road has been limited to gravel and fire roads, but it feels like it hooks up. It's a lot better than the Shinko 705 I was running on the rear...still have a 705 on the front, so it's an odd combo, but I couldn't pass up the availability of the Mitas E-07 on Revzilla.

Mitas E07 -- a great value
Decided to try this tire on Yamaha SuperTenere based on good reports from fellow Tenere riders. It really is a 50/50 dirt/road: very good hook-up on dirt gives confidence, & feels very smooth on the road -- curves & turns are no problem. It sings at speed on hard surface, but that's easy to overlook because the tire does such a good job over-all. Very little apparent wear after 2000 miles.

Great tire
Slapped on this tire for a dual sport trip. It handles well on pavement, dirt, loose gravel, deep mud, rocks. Had a lot of rain, and the tires gripped good on wet pavement also. Only thing that remains to be seen is longevity of tire.

Exceptional grip in warm conditions with a rubber compound designed and built for longevity. I've ridden nearly 2,000 miles on these tires and expect I'll get another 4-5k miles on them. That said, because of the hardness of the rubber compound, these tires aren't as well adapted to wet conditions as the Shinko 705.

Will these tires be available in 120/70 R19 & 170/60 R17 with V speed rating for 2015 BMW GSA?
BEST ANSWER: i asked mitas the same question and they don't know. i expect that they will. nonetheless, i run the e07 dakar in 110/80-19 and 150/17-17 on my 2016 r1200gs and, after getting used to greater tendency for the bike to fall in to corners, i'm very pleased with them. in fact, i now like that feeling -more flickable. previously ran conti tkc-70s, which are fantastic tires. i just wanted something a bit more dirt worthy. i think that even if mitas releases the proper sized tires, i may stick with this smaller/taller size.

Does the 150/70-17 in the Mitas E7 have the center rib, continuous lug like a Heidenau K60?
BEST ANSWER: It has a .400" wide rib down the center, which is .170" recessed from the face of the tread. It looks like a wear indicater but it can't be. The measurement from the face or top of the tread to the casing, (bottom of the tread block), is .520"these measurements are from a new tire uncounted. The Heidenau K60 is not a wet weather tire. My son has one on his 2012GSA when it rains it is always hydroplaning

Mitas E-07 tires. If you back away a bit and squint, the chevron tread pattern appears to be a series of arrowheads all pointing in the same direction. This is true for the front tires and the rear tire tread patterns. My question is, when mounting the tires on the bike, which direction should the arrowhead at the TOP of the tire be pointing? There are 4 possibilities: Both face forward, both face rearward, forward on front and rearward on rear, or rearward on front and forward on rear? Thanks.
BEST ANSWER: The rear tire mounts with chevrons pointing in the direction of travel. The front tire mounts in the opposite direction. There is a mounting direction arrow on the sidewalls of both tires.

Any feedback on longevity of the Mitas E-07?
BEST ANSWER: I ride a 2014 BMW F800 GSA and am on my second set of Mitas E-07 Dakars. The first set was replaced at 8,000 miles while there was still tread life, but I was heading to Baja for a week trip and wanted new shoes on the bike. The first set performed phenomenally on the AZBDR through mud, rock, and sand. These tires last twice long as the Metzler Karoo 3s that I used to use on the bike.

How do these compare to the Heidi K60s? In terms of off road vs on road and long life?
BEST ANSWER: Sizes 90/90-21 and 150/70-17 on F800GS, I've run them both so here's my rundown:
K60 last a long time - 10,400 miles. Less grip on road and offroad due to harder compound (long life) and center rib on rear. I did not care for the front end feel at all. Front feathers and rear gets flat spot.
E-07 better traction overall - 8,000 miles. Noticeably better offroad and on. Front feathers a little, but center rib keeps tire fairly round.
Note my comment on this rear tire size regarding center rib above.

For the 150/70-17: what max pressure is listed on the sidewall? I've read on a few forums (AdvRider & SuperTenere) that it was 33psi and had been increased to 40psi.
BEST ANSWER: The sidewall says 716 lbs at 42 PSI for max load and air pressure. You should always go by the recommended pressure of the bike mfg.

What's the difference between the TT and the TL?
BEST ANSWER: The best answer I've found is that TT= Tube Type and TL = TubeLess. I don't know if that's also the difference in designation between the "standard" and the "Dakar" version. My understanding is that the Dakar has extra sidewall belt, making them stiffer. I have the Dakar version on my Triumph Explorer. The sidewall is marked both "TUBLESS" and "on tube type rim, use tubes"

Are these the Dakar version or regular?
BEST ANSWER: Randy, You need to call and be sure. I run the E-07 Dakar Rear and a TKC-80 up front. The "Dakar" should be specifically listed and tun about $10(US) more. Either way, I have run the standard and Dakar - biggest difference I have noticed is the rigidity of the sidewall. Dakar helps run low pressure offroad, but is a bear to rip off and reseat the bead. Best of luck - regardless - Revzilla always takes care of me with my tire needs...+1.

I ride a Yamaha XT1200z Super Tenere, and just bought a set of Mitas E07 to replace the Kenda's I have now, but the front rim has a dent and I was wandering if I could mount a tube with the Mitas, so I would be able to lower the pressure if needed?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, I run Mitas with tubes, and they work great. In the dirt, I lower air pressure to 15 pound in the rear for better traction without negatively impacting the tire's life or performance. In the front, I run 20 psi, as I tend to get pinch flats in the front at lower pressures because of the shorter sidewall of the front tire. However, at 20 psi, the front will hold a line at speed in the dirt very well. I was riding two-up last weekend for 27 miles on a gravel road coming off the Lolo Motor Highway, and speeds were as high as 60 mph on straights, with 40 mph pretty normal in long sweepers. Lowering the air pressure was key.
