i am running the 160/80-16 bias e-3 and currently have 7500
miles on it .it still has very good tread left and i am more then
satisfied with both dry and wet wheather performance.

I have about 1000 miles on 180/70/16 E3 and it is a squalling bitch, especially in the turns. It does not bother me except it makes a noise when accelerating that makes me think it is my shaft.

I have the 180/70 and it's coming up on 3000 miles. It has very little signs of wear. By this time the stock stones had a flat spot already. Mine is a noisy booger though. I just put in dynabeads this week and I seems to have helped, especially around 45-50mph. I'm used to it now and I'm confident it is balanced right now with the dynabeads. I only got 7500 miles out of the stock tire and expect to get 10k+ out of the E3.
