Trying the MC II's right now. So far I like them as well, but I only have about 6K on them with good wear so far.

I'm also happy with the E3 rear, but I'm going to something else for the front next time. If you have a tread-depth gauge, would you check your front tire for me? I presume the MCII starts at 5/32" new and I would like to find out if I can expect better mileage out of the front. Checking your depth at 6k miles should give me a vague idea, as I haven't seen any reports of MCII wear yet. My first E3 front lasted 18k miles and the second isn't wearing any better. The rears have lasted 20-22k which is quite acceptable and I don't plan on changing to something else on that end of the bike.
