    Hi all. I have just fitted Mitas E07s on my Bonneville after much research and reviews. Now when riders see them I seem to get very negative views on them in regards to safety! It's beginning to play on my mind to the point where I am losing confidence in riding, so not enjoying he ride and thinking might take them off again!

    Please please please give me honest thoughts? If you never fitted enduro tyres on your Bonneville please don't comment as 'how do you know?' But if you have, give me the confidence back to to stop worrying?

    I am a newish rider so my experience isn't years long and I certainly am not an aggressive rider!

    All responses would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    Hi Russell, sorry but I haven't ridden with enduro tyres and I'm going to comment anyway. Firstly if you are happy with them and the performance they give you then go for it, as you say you're not an aggressive rider. That being said even if you are a bit more spirited this review seems very positive about their performance on tarmac https://www.adventurebikerider.com/mitas-e-07/ so blow the naysayers and go enjoy your riding ;)

    Hi,
    I have k60s and tbh I find them better then the stock tyres that come with the bike, i don’t ride it like a sports bike so I don’t feel there is any need to worry, i would just say if you feel safe while riding that’s all that matters. Do you express your safety concerns to people riding unsafe with road tyres? Keep them on and see how you get on.

    @Russell Dawson:
    The Bonnie with those tyres is your bike. For your type of riding you made this decision. Enjoy it and ride your Bonnie!;)
    Never mind the comments of the other bikers. They just don't like your special style and are jealous.
