Time to change out my E3s
Time to change out my E3s
Well I have worn out my E3 on the rear of my RK..Happy to report that it lasted 8600 miles and could probably get more out of it but... I was usually getting 5-6000 on the regular Dunlops and they always felt squirley..So went to Jake wilson and ordered up another E3..I love these tires..
Just ending up all of the rally,s for awhile,it,s getting too hot to sit in parking lots and cow fields.Time to put miles on the bikes..probably could have rode that E3 some more but I will play it safe... when I am riding out in no where land one less thing to worry..all the best..

I went to Jake Wilson and ordered a E3. When the mail delivered it, off I went to my local bike shop to get it installed. Put it on the rim and the dang thing was over 3,4 in out of round. Had to buy a Metzler at the shop so I could ride it back home. Not Jake's fault and is the only tire I have ever got that screwed up.

Are you sure they had the beads set? I mounted my E3 on the front rim and couldn't get enough air with my small compressor to get it inflated. Took it to a local tire place and had them inflate it. Took it home and put it on the bike and it wobbled way out. I put almost 80 PSI in it before I heard that last pop. It was ok after that. Good tires!!!

I've got 7k on this set..... and that's riding the rough tire eating North Carolina roads.....
I thought I had 2-3k on them, when a friend asked... went home and checked my paperwork.... mounted 52,9xx sitting at 60,1xx
like you... I'm happy with 'em

10,400 on my ultra with about 30-40% left. Mostly solo and not real heavy handed on the throttle. I like em! Last way longer than Metzlers and ride about the same. I put them on the wife's Heritage. We will see how they do on a lighter bike.
