It is at least equal to the T66 on dry, but (unless worn more than 
~80%) far better in wet conditions. This applies to the Twin-typical 
130mm and 140mm size of the Enduro4. 

From what I've heard, the difference between E4 and T66 in the 
150mm size (R11GS, *cough*adero, Pussyca^H^H^H Tiger) is not 
that important, but then again, it's just what I've heard.

My first E4s lasted 15Mm on the back wheel, but this longevity has
since reduced to ~10Mm, with a few mms left on the rear and the front
*completely* worn. I then prefer changing both tires at once, you 
cannot imagine how smooth the ride on a Twin becomes with fresh E4s :-))

Because of the Twin's relatvely high weight, I always choose the 
90/90-21 H (210km/h) type for the front wheel, not the S (180km/h). 
The H will last up to 20% longer (10 instead of 8 Mm in my case), 
and allows me to change both tires at once without throwing a good rear
tire away.
