Some are much more than 20% off. The Mitas E-09 Dakar front tire for our bikes is only $52 shipped to my door!! Probably an error but I ordered 3 of them this morning and they have already accepted order and shipped out to me. I should be set for most of 2016 riding now since I just put a new E-07 front on last month. I'm sure the E-09 wont last as long as an E-07 or E-10 but for only $52 I'll be perfectly happy changing out a little more often. And looking forward to the improved dirt performance.

So it gets even better. After my order shipped they emailed me and posted 1,468 Twisted reward points to my account which equals $14.68 off any order. So I ordered another E-09 Dakar for $52, still enough to get free shipping and after $14.68 off get a 4th tire for only $37. Christmas came early this year.

Hey Bullet, that's a great buy. After your recommendation, I put on a set of E-07 Dakar's and am really happy with the rear. The front not so much as I find it pretty sketchy on dirt and gravel. Aired down it does much better, but still not as confidence inspiring as a knobby. So I too was thinking of trying the E-09 on the front at the next swap. I'm curious to see how you like the combo and if the E-09 wears better than the Shinko 805 we ran this past summer in Colorado.SilverBullet said:
Roosterman I'm running a TKC 80 on the front and E07 rear. Really like this combo! Seems like they'll wear about the same which I like. The TKC works well off or on road I have confidence in its limits. If you try a E09 front let us know how it works.

Will let you know. I'm thinking to remove my nearly new front E-07 now and save it for a long trip later this year where I'll need the mileage. If so I'll spoon on an E-09 next month after the holidays and try it in the dirt and start guaging tread life also.Roosterman said:
I don't care if it performs and wears better than the Shinko 804 as this is a stiff sidewall tire. I'm done with Shinko rim damage even keeping 30-32 psi off road and don't feel safe riding pavement at high speed. Beads pop too dang easy. Remember my flat on RR335 where the bead popped at speed? Scary shit for me, I was lucky not to go down.
My orders arrived today as well.

The E-09 front looks nice. Same as you I think, I ran 2 fronts and 2 rear's in the Shinko 805's. I'm still kinda on the fence about them. They wore decent for a knobby, and once aired down to about 30 lbs they do well in the dirt, but yeah, they are too soft for rocks and will undoubtedly result in eventual rim damage. I think we got lucky in Colorado.SilverBullet said:
I remember thinking when you had the flat and bead pop on RR335 that there was no way in hell we were gonna re-seat the bead. But with just a low PSI Slime pump, and you squeezing the tire by hand, it popped right back on the bead. It was lucky in that regard, but if the tire had not been made of silly puddy to begin with, it never would have popped. I think there was a bit of luck there no doubt, on several fronts.
Looks like the sale is over.

Yes it is but I'm not expecting great treadlife for the E-09's. Super low price convinced me to buy or else I would've bought just one E-10 Dakar. Small'ish knobs, heavy bike and hard braking can eat them up quick. I'm expecting 5,000 miles but hoping for more.carrot said:
carrot we need to ride again soon. That Sand Hill Rd we took last time was truly a gem. Hard to find fun unmaintained roads like that in that area. Most are just graded gravel which can get boring.
