I hear they're good, but I love my Venoms! I put the tire right in the center of a groove on a road and rode it for about 5 miles at 70 just to see how it handled. No problems at all.

Had one put on my rear ( 04 ultra) about 6000 miles ago and this week I put one on the front. I think they are better than the Met's I had on before. I could only get about 7000 mile on the Met's. rear. These ride and feel ever bit as good . The rear looks like it can go another 4000 with no problem.

Do you notice any tire noise from the E3's at 50 mph? I have some hearing loss and I can't decide if it is the tires or something else making the noise.

what brand are the E3's? I'm still running stock as my scoot only has 1500 miles - one thing I want the best of is my tires.

I had a speed-related (i.e. not gear or RPM) whine or groan at moderate speeds and blamed the tires and belt before finding out it was a tranny bearing. I will say that my rear E3 did whine a bit in curves since there was some minor cupping on the edges toward the latter stages of the tire's life. This whine was never intrusive and I never noticed it unless I was listening for it.

I just replaced my first E3 rear last week with 20k on the clock and it still had 2/32" of tread remaining. I have never noticed any noise with these tires going in a straight line, and with the new rear and front with 10k I hear no noise at all, in curves or otherwise.
