I ran Mitas E-07 Dakar front and rear for 10,000 miles. They did all I asked of them. I'm not a knee dragger. They did well in all weather conditions, pavement, gravel, mud, except babyhead rocks
New Shoes AKA Tires
Howdy All,
Its about time for some fresh rubber.
Though I do like the Michelin Anakee 3’s that were on the bike when I got it in Novemwer Im open to suggestions.
I spend about 80% on pavement and the rest on fire roads in Western NC and SW Virginia. My budget is $300 for both front and rear tires. I do occasionaly get the pegs down so grip is important as is tread life.
Thanks for your help.

Are you installing the tires yourself or does you $300 budget include a shop doing the work?
There's a guy selling a used set of Bridgestone A41's on ebay...taking offers..could prolly get them for $225. Free shipping. He's in So Cal. Say's 600 miles on 'em. They look good to me. I'd get them but just put new set on. I think the a41 is an 80\20 tire with a solid fanbase.
I became a big fan of the Michelin Anakee 3. I am on my first set, already with 13,000 kms, lots of tread left. On a recent trip to North Carolina & Tennessee they performed very well on dry and wet pavement. Very noisy tires, but I use ear plugs and hope they can scary the deers on the Ontario backroads I ride mostly.
Thanks for the replies so far. $300 is just for the tires. I’ll get on ebay and check those out.
The guy wants $300 for the A41’s. Im also not a huge fan of buying used tires unless I can inspect them first. Thanks for the heads up though.
With a $300 budget you're looking at something like Shinko 705's.
Agreed, I do love the Anakee 3 as well. They have great grip and aren’t bad on gravel.I became a big fan of the Michelin Anakee 3. I am on my first set, already with 13,000 kms, lots of tread left.
