First set on F6B
| I reserve "5 Stars" for the ultimate tire - I ain't found it yet. The E4s are a VERY good tire. This is my first set, got 19,000 miles on the Front & Rear. Probably another 3-4k still left in them. I meticulously maintain 40F/41R psi at the start of every ride. Living in Florida, instead of the 318 curves in 11 miles like the Dragon, we have 318 miles with 11 curves. I went through 2 sets of Bridgestone tires at 18,000 miles per set, and I wanted to try the E4s due to the dual compounding - being harder in the center - for the riding style I have to accept in this part of the country, but I also wanted a tire that could let me play in the mountains as well. These are a great compromise for what I want. I think what some people are referring to for the tar snakes is the harder center giving way to the softer outside and then the traction kicks on. For the reviewer who had issues on the grated bridge - I have traveled many on both the 'Stones and E4s and never had that issue. I think my 40 psi in the front might help me there. For future purchase? I'm getting more wear out of the E4s, but they cost more than the 'Stones. It'll probably honestly boil down to which company is having a sale as I get ready to replace the tires. Cheers! |
