I just put on a set of Mitas E09(not the Dakar varsion) on my Yamaha 660 Tenere. Previously I had the Dunlop D606.

My concern is the front tyre. How well does this behave on tar and gravel? The D606 worked like a charm and I am used to cornering relatively hard on tar and leaning quite aggressively. I had the tiniest fraction of chicken strips on my D606 front.

Can I expect more or less the same performance form the E09?
