Mitas E 07+ Review - Most likely the best 50/50 tire on the market

[@nobodyinparticular709]

I am an average rider. I have a set of e07+ on my 2008 1200GSA and have covered 10000kms on them. The rear tyre has about 3mm left on the main wear line, the front is about 40% left. The front can be noisy at speeds of 100/120kph) I managed to do the Ben10 eco challenge ( Google it) on the tyres with normal pressure and these tyres inspired a LOT of confidence in really bad conditions. The grip on tarmac is absolutely fine and can breakfast run with the fast kids with confidence. So far, if I only had to have one set of tires for the rest of my riding life, it would be the e07+.

[@tshansen]

Thank you for sharing your experience Sir 👏🏻 I'm really impressed by this tires myself. 🔥 Cheers, stay safe

[@caballarius]

Hello, Do you have the yellow line Dakar version or the standard?

[@stephankaderli1136]

Absolute agree Thomas. Great on tarmac and loads of traction on gravel. Xrv650 RD03 1990

[@tshansen]

A true 50/50 tire in my book :-) Glad to hear you like them as well :-) Cheers

[@jonasamna]

Thanks Thomas for your nice review of the Mitas Tires, very well explained how it is in daily use on norwegian roads. Your skill in video editing and use of equipment really shines throuhg with these lovely drone fotages over the waterfalls, combined with some nice road action clips aswell, looks so professional ... Keep it safe and throttle on ....

[@tshansen]

Thank you for the kind words :-) I really appreciate it mate. Glad you liked it. My main reason to do this videos is to give something back to the community. Sharpening the skills are just part of the process :-) Stay safe

[@Braapncamp]

Beautiful scenery and great editing Thomas, like the music as well, she sounds like a Swedish vocalist that i have used tracks from. You improve on every video. Now open the boarders so i can plan the TET Norway before the mosquitos leave us for the season... Now to the tires! I'm with You and understand the way of thinking. Sweden have the same laws for offroading, however some tractor och forest trails offer offroad like situations. But never the less i have not been riding on such a road oriented tire for close to 15 years. Closest have been the Karoo 3's and the Metzler Sahara. So to me with my preferences i see those tires more like 30/70 (30 offroad). The Saharas did my 690 ride to Preikestolen in Norway in best manner You can ask for, so i completely see your point. I see the Ralls as 50-70/30. But thats because i plan the tires for the worst condition ”offroad” and not vice versa. I do not ride much asphalt and try to avoid it, so thats where i come from. With that said those E07+ will do TET like a charm. Rider/bike performance is ALOT more than tires, but tires gives confidence and confidence helps rider. I really look fwd on your thoughts on the E09's! A tire i could concider when Rallz are toasted. Probably less difference ridewise than You would think and with shorter life... Tire life is direct linked tonthrottle though, i toasted Karoo T and Karoo 2 at 1500Km's though. Thats a adventure weekend. 😂💪🏻 Keep it up Thomas!

[@tshansen]

Thank you my friend :-) reading this from someone i look up to, and inspire me are really humble experience. There will be some news 15. May... they talking about open up the country if the numbers continue to drop like they have the last couple of days. If so, there can be a possibility for the boarders to open the 15 june :-) That is perfect for the TET in Norway. You guys have alot more gravel roads to handle than we have over here. I have to drive so much tarmac no matter if i like it or not, so i can't ignore the fact that most of my riding is tarmac, and need tires that does that just as good as gravel. And that can be a challange. Nice to hear your experience with your tires, and nice of you to share them here :-)

[@Braapncamp]

I should ad that Mitas has alot of tires to choose from, at my 690 i had Mitas C21 on front and C02 at rear. These are extreme offroad tires and thats where i come from when i choose to the tubeless set up on the 790R. But with this heavier bike i think i'm spot on right now until i hear more from the E09. I swapped bike to do more mix and Adv riding, but i have barely changed my style where i end up with the bike 😂👀

[@neilmackinnon3371]

I have EO7's front and back of my ex army Armstrong MT500 (Rotax 500cc engine). Like Jan RA I found the rear too hard to install and had to pay a dealer to do it, the front was OK. That is the only negative I can find. On the road they are excellent although the rear will break away when leant over and accelerating out of sharp corners. I have only managed limited gravel and dirt riding, but the tyres have been great. Love the channel Thomas.

[@tshansen]

You guys are not alone, i hear there is many who struggle to get this tire on/off. For me, it was no issue, but i have put on easier tires. I just ordered a Mitas e10 and a tkc80 rear to see if i can do a comparison test with all this tires. I really like the mitas range, and here in Norway they are really cheap 👍🏻Thank you, glad to hear you like my content. Stay safe man 🔥

[@svendusmcveteraner]

Thank you for sharing I have 10K km on my Mitas e07 DACAR version on both wheels! and i think there are 5K km left on the front, but next time it will be the Mitas e07+ non DACAR version because this stiff tires are rather hard to mount and the front tyre are rather noisy on tarmac, but on the Swedish🇸🇪 gravel roads the Mitas tires are just perfect and my rather heavy Africa Twin DCT becomes a completely different bike 👍 The history of Mitas brand reaches back to the thirties of the last century. The tyres were first produced in Prague, then in Zlín, and then in Otrokovice in the Czech Republic. In 2016, Mitas became a part of Trelleborg group. Currently, the Mitas tyres are produced in the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Serbia, Sri Lanka and in America. The latest European production plant in Otrokovice started operating in 2013. It produces radial tyres designed for high-performance agricultural technology. Another significant milestone was the opening of the production plant in Charles City, the USA, where the production of radial and agricultural Mitas tyres commenced in 2012. The production plant is located directly in the heart of the American farming industry and in an area with many producers of agricultural technology. Extensive American market with high demands provides Mitas brand with great potential.

[@tshansen]

Thank you for the history lesson, i did not know about this. I know they made it in Czech Republic but not all the other places. I really love the mitas range of tires. They are cheaper than most but just as good as the rest 👍🏻

I have 12500km on my dakar e07 + right now (Could probably push it another 1500km but I will start fresh with a new one this spring). I use a 150/70/17 on my nc750x and love it as my rear tire (front is a tkc 80). I ride 80/20 which probably doesn't call for this aggressive of a tire but when I do do my 20% offroad I like extra confidence and control of this tire! It also looks aggressive and cool on my bike imo lol! Cheers! Ride safe out there!

Had the e07 for years on my tenere xt660z...love them but they wear out fast in the middle when you drive a lot of tarmac and then they become square. But that’s only a problem when you need to drive 500km’s of german highway to get to the ferry to Norge😆 super nice intro in this video👍 videos are getting better and better, keep up!

You can see tendency of the same on mine. But i think it's the same with alot of theise tires :-) The autobahn eats rubber for sure :-P Thank you, glad you liked it. Trying to do better in every video :-)

[@abouc]

Same thing here. There are 700 miles of tarmac between Michigan and all the good roads in the Smoky Mountains. I ship a new tire to Tennessee before every year so there's always fresh tread for the real riding.

[@tshansen]

@@abouc That is a really good idea. I have a dealer on the east side of Norway (where most of the gravel roads are) and be able to ride 600km to the other side of the country and put on fresh rubber! Amazing.

[@thetubelesschannel]

Mitas E07 rear (140/80-17 TL) on my bike and just done TET Norway and a lot other gravel roads. Wears slowly and gave all the grip I needed on the TET which is 90% gravel, 5% asphalt, 3% forest road and maximum 1% mud/grass. For that the tyre is perfect. It collected mud the few places there was mud. Exactly as predicted. But it is so rare I ride into mud. Front I used a Bridgestone AX41, gives all the grip I needed, but it wears quickly and is very very noisy. So I was thinking of replace front with a TKC80 which I have been happy with when it comes to grip and noise (and unhappy with when it comes to wear). But have changed my mind after the great experience with the E07 rear and will try Mitas E07+ front (110/80-19 TL). The price is about same as for a TKC80. On Mitas website they claim that the E07 plus version was developed to be a bit more road oriented (60/40) than the E07 (50/50) but Ive seen many say that E07+ is better off the tarmac than the pure E07. Well I will try. Maybe next time I will try the E09 but will first listen to your experience with it. Great review!

[@tshansen]

Thank you Sven! Glad to hear your experience with the tires. I think alot of guys underestimate the mitas range and what you get for the money compared to alot of other brands. The best ting is to try different types, and find what you like best. I have found my favourite combo and will stick to them for a while :-P The Mitas is really good on what i have tested them. Not to much gravel, but i will use them again :-)

You are welcome mate 🔥

[@jaronard1]

I had an EO7 plus on the rear with a TKC 80 on the front for about 8 months. The wear life is decent, but it did square off after about 5,000 miles from a trip that was mostly tarmac; it was also reasonably smooth on the road as compared to a TKC 80 rear. I thought the off road grip was good, with the exception of a back and forth fishtailing effect in mud that was more exaggerated than the TKC 80 used previously. However, what I really did not like was the wet pavement performance. To get the longevity they used a very hard rubber that is super sketchy on wet pavement, and for me it stepped out too much for my comfort on dry pavement when pushed. For that reason I replaced it with something else; otherwise the EO7 is a good tire for fairly smooth road riding and good off road capability, just don’t push them too hard on the road. Currently running a full set of Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires, which are I think a true unicorn tire thus far. I don’t think they’re being exported from the US, but they just came out in December. Here’s a recent video from Rawhyde Adventures talking a short comparison between the Dunlops and EO7s, the latter which they use exclusively at their riding academy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faqkh2Nmp6xqi9E

[@tshansen]

Great comment and thank you for the feedback :-) I'm surprised that you had issues on the wet tarmac? For me i find them to preform better than the Motoz and tkc80 (rear) I can relate to the feeling you describe in the mub... no doubt their weakest point. But with all good tires there are compromise. I have pushed mine really hard on cold tarmac and i find them predictable and they give good feedback :-)

I keep looking at Mitas. I had them on my KLR years ago. Some of the BMW GS guys think that a less aggressive tire is better off road and makes a better all around ADV ride. I think the E 09's are my next set of tires.

[@tshansen]

The problem with tires, and opinion around it.... is the wide arrange of driving style, bikes and how you load them with luggage. But i do think a less aggressive tire is the way to go here up north :-) Can't wait to give the e-09 a propper go!

Haha, never been so close to a live deer in my whole life. It looked just as surprised as i did 🤣Tires is a really touchy subject, and can bring out alot of feelings in people. For me, this is a really good combo, and the price...compared to the other brands are just a no brainer. With that said, i would never buy a tire based on price alone. I buy the best tires for my use, if they are cheap or half the price it's just a bonus 👍🏻

[@abouc]

RevZilla recommended these for my Tiger back in 2016, and wow were they right! Whether I'm riding on a wet, debris covered mountain road, loose gravel, technical off-road terrain, a rainstorm on the highway, or blasting through Deal's Gap with sport bikes, these tires perform. And the super stiff sidewalls on the Dakar variant are sturdy enough to get you back to civilization if you have a serious puncture in the middle of nowhere. Like you said, deep sand or mud require more of a knobby, but those aren't very fun places for a middle-weight ADV bike anyway.

Thomas Hansen BMW 650GS. Did a lot of gravel and some sand

[@vtv8man]

I ordered a set of these for my r1250gs. They arrived but the rubber was too hard to my liking. More like a flexible plastic type of feel. Whilst we all like tyre longevity- I also like tarmac grip. Literally whilst I was trying to decide what to do I saw a review on KZbin when the experienced reviewer lost the back end on the tarmac. I have sent them back and will get a set of the ax41’s when it gets warmer.

[@tshansen]

Just to be clear, longevity is not as important as grips on tarmac :-) Did you experience any slip with them yourself? I use mine here in the cold north in the beginning and end of the season... from 2-5 degree celcius and up, and not once did they feel unpredictable. And yes, rubber is and always will be a matter of personal preference. I hear gret stuff about the ax41, but here in Norway they are twice the price :-(

[@coconuciferanuts339]

Thanks guys for great discussion.A few dollars is nothing when considering safety.As an older rider I tend to be over cautious.The back wheel spin- off must be Kyle's vid.Yeah,it's spooked me also but I'm still putting the eo7's on because I don't do anywhere near that kind of reckless riding.I mean it'like one said,every basic beginner mistake.Acceleration when turning on contaminated road surface of fine debris left after recent road mainenance.

[@1dancier]

My preferred tyre would be the E07+ for the rear and knobby front, but Mitas are a costly tyre in Oz. Last set of tyres was the Shinko 804 and 805 and they're good. Might try the Pirelli MT21 next. Mind you I ride like grandma going to church on a (KLR) so tyres last a long time. Like your tyre changing system :)

[@AirborneMOC031]

Aside from the size of the bike on a multi day dual sport/ADV ride on that 50/50 tire i.e. that 1200 GSA versus a WR250R, there's also the environment of the ride once off the slab: lots of mud, sand and loose dirt or is it mostly hard packed national forest roads and logging roads with buildups of gravel in the corners and the middle. Here in the mountains around Yellowstone and Glacier national parks, there isn't much mud and sand but you do need a sure footed front tire that suddenly slip out on you on those hard dirt road corners covered in a film of grit or with a layer of gravel on top. Highway riding within the speed limit, you can have a sporty and predictable ride with pretty much any tire. I'm willing to consider giving these a go instead of another set of Heidenau K60 scouts if they're available in the sizes to fit my WR250R. BTW, I'm told that Mitas is the current embodiment of Telleborg who most of us considered made the most kick ass motocross tires back in the 1970's...

[@tshansen]

Very nice presentation! Beautiful country. These tires are original equipment on my new 890 R, and I've been very impressed. I don't have any experience with 50/50 tires up to this point, so I don't have a good reference, but I've been surprised at the performance off-road and on. (I've got plenty of pure off-road and on-road riding and these seem to strike an improbably good compromise.) For some reason the front is losing pressure very fast, so I'm keeping an eye on that. The dealer dismounted the tire and checked it at the first service, said it seemed ok, but since then I've seen more reports of losing pressure more rapidly than desirable. For now, the rear is holding fine. Not 100% sure to what this should be attributed, but I've seen videos of air loss around the bead. I'll be watching that and, if so, that will be a major reason for me to switch from the E-07 to something different. Yes, I know a person can just add a tube and I may end up doing that. But for now I'm going to try to stay with the stock tubeless setup.

[@tshansen]

Thank you Curtis... I'm really happy with the mitas as well, but I mix them up with the tkc80 front. I rather have a little better grip in the front for my kind of gravel riding. Not sure if I need it, but it feels so much more confident. You should try to mix it up with a more knobby setup. E-12 or E-13 could be a front option (if they come tubeless) Haha, I understand why you don't want to go tube. and you should not on a tubeless rim. Get that sorted, but would be nice to know if it is the rim or actually the tire. I know there is some rapports about the bead on the rim or how to say it on yamaha has a weld that makes the tire really hard to set, even with a tube.

Thomas, loved the vid as always (love the out takes) I often run a mitas c02 stone king on the rear. Very aggressive tread that lasts a supprising amount of time even with motorway miles handling isn't that bad with it either.... See if you can't have a try of one (quite cheap too)

Thank you mate :-) I have looked at the mitas c02 before, when riding the 690, but i tought it was way to aggressive for the conditions here. If i find them cheap, it may be a option instead of the motoz? Have to look closer at this. Cheers, thank you for the tip :-)

Better save for next trip or just stick to e07 without the + for next tet trip. never found road where my old anakee3 would have not worked on tet so far.

[@tshansen]

I really love the e-07+ and dont see the point of experience with to many tires! Stick with what work and be happy 🔥👏🏻

[@MindBodySoulOk]

I can't recommend the MItas e-07 any longer. When they removed the center strip, the wear was cut in half. Not the same great tire it used to be. Still handles great and I run it tubeless on a klr650 spoked rim but just very disappointed that they changed it.

[@tshansen]

They did not remove it, the + tire is another tire! The regular e-07 is still possible to buy 👏🏻 this is a tire more for road and the bigger bikes mate 🔥

nice video,thanks for upload (my english ist very bad,sorry) i am not very happy with my heidenau k60scout and i like the mitas ! there looks like very good and it will be my next tire,maybe the bridgestone adventurecross ax 41 ! i thing that the bridgestone will be better on wet roads,but i dont know ! you say the mitas is also god in wet conditions ! by the way,i hope that this year i meet you in norway ;) 2020 it was not possible for me to travel to your beautiful country ! allwasy ride safe and greetings from germany dirk

[@tshansen]

Thank you Dirks 👍🏻 I have never tried the K60 my self, but I have a couple of friends who has, and they did not like it. Scary on wet tarmac and in Norwegian temperatures. I have heard great stuff about the Ax41, but they are quite expensive here, and I can't imagine they are so much better then the mitas that are almost half the price? But the only way to find out is to try them all 👏🏻 Always nice to meet up with people who follow and support me. I'm not sure Norway will be open at all this year, but we are all hoping. If you ever come across me, make sure to say hello 🔥 Ride safe mate. Cheers

Great video, especially the bit with the deer 😊 The Mitas website actually decribes the E07 + as a 60/40 tyre. 60 road and forty off The original E 07 which is still in production is a 50/50

Thank you mate :-) The Dakar version is stiffer in the bead, so i do think they are harder to put on than TKC80, but not that hard that many state :-) No, i run the TKC80 in front :-)

[@kleiwerper]

@@tshansen hello. Could you please tell me why I should run e07 on the back and the tkc on front? I have an f750gs

[@tshansen]

@@kleiwerper I can try... the tkc80 fron is by far the best front tire i have run for 50/50 use. They perform really good in every conditions. I trust them and they have proven to be better in various condition compared to other tires i have tried. They are easy to come by and they are cheap (in norway) They are nobbys, but still they perform really good on wet and dry tarmac. The tkc80 rear has poor milage, so i need a tire that can perform similar to the tkc80 rear but with better milage. This is where mitas does a great job. Take step on the wild side, try it for yourself and get your own experience... it is only tires 👏🏻🔥

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

Thanks for the video, 6000km, than it’s good to be able to change the tires your self. On my bolt I changed the tires at the 20000km service, but that’s a different story of course. If you never ride off-road but ride some time on a gravel road (regular unpaved road) more 90/10 or 80/20 I guess there’s tires with a little more longevity? Is there any tires you have tried that would be a good option. I guess you can ride on any tires it’s depends on how experienced and how throttle happy you are 🙂

[@tshansen]

Yes, i was really happy and amazed bu the tkc70 as a mostly road tire. It does gravel ok, and the road quality on those was perfect. The front did cup a little after a while.

[@menschen1991]

Most people say the Pirelli rally Str lasts for 11k km. I got 4 k out of them... Been in the Schwarzwald for 2k though. That eats rubber like crazy. Heidenau k60 scouts should be longest longevity

[@JoonesAdventuresMC]

I have no idea what mileage to expect on a offroad or adventure tire. I guess it also depends of the gravel on the road. Tarmac doesn't tear on the tire as much as sharp stones in the gravel does and so on. What mileage did you get fron the TKC70?. I'm not looking for an offroad tire, more a "touring tire" that can be used even on gravel. Offcourse all 50/50 70/30 ands 80/20 tires are compromises. I guess Good road performance and acceptable performance on unpaved roads in relatively slow riding. Not for the Yamha Bolt but for an other bike. To day I have Anakee III on that Bike and maybe thats good anough for what I am looking for.

[@bigswederides]

Greetings from West Vancouver. I have the Motoz Adventure & RallZ - getting close needing replacement. I see your comments with Mattias, makes sense now. If you have to ride a lot of pavement to get to off-road, E07 makes good sense. If most of your time is spent off-road with little pavement, the Motoz makes sense. Where I am is somewhere in the middle, if a little to the Norweigan style where we have to ride pavement, sometimes 2 - 3 hours or more to access good off-road areas. I wonder how you feel today about the E07 - I don't recall seeing them on your bike? Any change in views? The E07 does not seem to be great in loose off-road material, loose gravel, sand, or mud. Hardpack forest roads maybe, but in that regard, are you not limiting yourself? Especially by putting an E07 on the front. I'd consider an E09 for the front with the E07 on the back, maybe. Still thinking about it, curious about your views?

[@tshansen]

Greeting Shayne 👏🏻 This is my exact experience... when riding so much tarmac, there is just no point in running to knobby tires. I did try the tkc70 rocks on the rear this season, a great road tire, but I felt like the rear was spinning out faster and loosed traction on the gravel compared to the mitas e-07+ I always run with the tkc80 front, and switch between what I have on the rear. The tkc80 is the best over all tire I have tried in the 90/90 21 inch size. It is incredible milage and does really well on tarmac and gravel. The mitas e-07+ does struggle in the conditions you mention, but we don't have alot of it here in Norway. If I know I'm going to places with more offroad and gravel, I put on a more knobby rear (like the e-09) but for my daily use, with so much tarmac and commuting back and fort from work. A 50/50 tires win's for me. And I'm still holding on to my statement... the mitas e-07+ is probably the best 50/50 tire on the market 🙏🏻

You don´t have any center stand on your bike ? Is it ok just to have the lifter ? How do you edit your GoPro and drone videos, in Adobe Premiere ? Are the videos taken in auto or do you use manual settings and edit color, contrast and sharpness later in post ? What remote do you use for your GoPro ? Great "down to earth" videos in high quality, thumbs up...

Nope, i dont have a center stand... it just ad weight i dont need. I use a lifer or a rope system to lift my bike when doing maintenance. I use a software called Davinci Resolve 16 for all my editing work. I run with some settings manual and some auto, depends on the weather and lighting. I shoot in a flat color profile so i do all color grading and correction in Davinci and sharpness. I dont use a remote for my GoPro, i start and stop the camera with the button on top.

Hi Very nice review as always, but Mitas e07 vs e07+ the e07+ are a little different we are to replace our OEM Dunlop tires on our 240 kg 2019 Honda AfricaTwin DCT and had a look at the Dunlop trailmax mision but they is rather pricey here in Sweden, it will be the Mitas e07 or e07+ so i wonder what will be the best for my AT ❓

[@tshansen]

Thank you Sir 👏🏻🔥 i have most experience with the e-07+, a great 50/50 tire but people state that there is better milage on the regular E-07 and noticable better grip on gravel! I have a friend who ride with them on his 1190 and i think that bike is about the same size as you! Even Bret claim them to be the best adv tire on the market today 👍🏻

[@83PJS]

Have you tested the E-07+ vs the E-07+dakar? Longevity? I see Mitas can deliver the E07+ for 21inch now.

[@tshansen]

No, i have only used the dakar version! From what i understand after reading on mitas home page! The only difference in the two tires are the thickness of the side wall’s. It should not effect the milage on either two! I use tkc80 up front and mitas rear 🔥👏🏻

[@83PJS]

Thomas Hansen I have heard that dakar version of E-07+ is same compound as ordinary E-07. Little harder rubber. E-07+ softer. E-07+ dakar = harder compound and addinonal textile cord.

Hmmm... i can’t find info about this on mitas site? Where did you find this info?

@tshansen Interesting, but for the sake of a review, bikers who are searching for the right tyre may benefit from a correct presentation of specs😊

[@DanielMores]

Love the look and ability of these tires but same as you, Austria does not really allow for offroading. So basically you spend 90% of your time on the road, and offroading is gravel or forest dirt (if you're lucky). Good review.

[@tshansen]

Yeah, and i do feel alot of us are in the same category. I would love to spend more time offroad, but the compromise you have to make for a more knobby tire without needing it, is not worth it IMO

I changed them at 8K, still got more milage in them. I normaly get 10K out of them with still some milage to go.
