Very interesting Fred this!
I put an E07 on recently as there was no stock of Scorpions and I was going up and into Lesotho. Have no regrets so far and am loving it! There are a few small chunks out of it, but that's from pulling the ring out of it offroad! ;-)
Did I read correctly earlier in this thread about running or 'curing' a tyre in? I know about the first 50kms or so and scrubbing any new tyre, but if I recall correctly, someone was talking about getting it up to temp and running it in?
Or am I PUI???

Edit: Went back and looked. 'Tour' mentioned on page2 that after a few "Heat Cycles" his tyre never saw more than 2bar. Do heat cycles help cure a tyre and make it last longer or something?
