fordpol Posted August 27, 2011 #1 Posted August 27, 2011 Just wanted to say Thank You to all of you on here who recommended the E3 tires. Just replaced the original 404 tires with a set of E3's and WOW what a difference no squirrelly feeling on rough pavement or tar snakes or even road cracks. Top heavy feeling is gone! Anyway thanks everyone. Anyone still running the 404's try E3's when you wear your 404's out. You will not be sorry. By the way they were only $40 more than a new set of 404's! Ken!
Yammer Dan Posted August 27, 2011 #2 Posted August 27, 2011 404s didn't last me very long. Rear one got almost 5k.

The E3's a good tire, but it's not a cure all. They will get squirelly on tar snakes. Maybe not as much as a lesser performing tire, but it'll happen. I run E3's and like them a lot, but when we were riding the Chief Joseph out of Cody there were a few occassions when going thru the switch backs and riding thru a snake pit or two that pucker power set in... Sliding sideways 6" while carving a hairpin ain't fun. So it can happen. Just be careful.... And you're welcome....
