I put the E3's on my SEEG right before the Nelson trip.  They seem to be a little "cushier" on the highway, giving a niver ride.  They also seem to stick better and feel softer.  Rode in a pretty heavy rain for about an hour and they were fine, no bad feelings whatsoever.  The only left to see is the mileage.  I have about 4K on them now and they have a lot left.  I'll buy them again...

New wheels, E3's and Lyndall pads put on before trip to Sturgis, 5000 mile round trip. E3's track better than stock over grooves and tar strips. Felt fine in the one down pour we rode through. Only concern, and it may not be the tires, was a high speed (85-90mph) oscillation. Seemed to be better with more miles on the tires.

Soups,

I noticed that oscillation also...at 90 to 95...coming back from Gatlinburg last week.
I thought maybe the tire was more sensitive to the wind on the fairing...
I am going to have the dealer check the tire alignment and front end tension before
hot spings. Overall though the E3 rode much better than the stock dunlops!!!
