Hi Buster..is that the E-09 mitas as for the 130/140 size they are only £69..so great value..but what they like in wet on tarmac being sensible of coarse..

Yeh Orlando I know should have kept it Zipped..when my rears worn I wont be using them again..unless Harrys rear last better than the old 130k60...

I've fitted the e 07 mitas to the 640 ktm. I'm well pleased with em, super grip even in wet, mind you did have knobbly's on before which don't grip in wet

What do you think of these mate?

Digital Captive was using 07's on his Africa Twin and loved em.

The only issue I've got is my option for the GS is a 140/80 x 17 rather than the stock 150/70 x 17. Don't think it'll make such a difference though.. :huh:

...pondering the situation, I may just go for a pair of E-10s. A little more expensive but stock fit. :)

That's the ones tramp a good all round tyre that I have had no probs with.
If you need any advice on tyre choice and fitment to whatever bike just phone the guy he is one knowledgeable barsteward.
IMHO why spend fortunes on tyres that could get cut to bits on the first outing. It's the only thing where buy cheap buy twice doesn't seem to ring true.




Nice to of met you Tramp good route Saturday shame we couldnt hang around after. Do it again soon hopefully.
I know I can do that that's why I'm not going to try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doh I forgot to say there is a 150 section out now aswell for the adv rim size.
I use the 140 and it handles fine.

Sorry no, my mistake, they're horrible in the wet. You will certainly die. ;)

thought this site might help looking for tyres for my little F650 and found this site seems cheaper than what Tramp was quoting the other day £88.40 for your tyres
price includes shipping plus vat
