Just for reference, and since Tom has already mentioned them, the E-09s that are currently on my Ten have done about 5000 miles. They're fairly knackered, although technically still legal. Rear is square and has about 3mm tread in the middle, front has 'interesting' wear as a result of hard use on road.
Bearing in mind the original Tourances only made it 6000 miles before the rear was properly bald in the middle, I'm pretty happy with only losing 1000 miles if it means I can keep knobblies on there all the time.
I've never had any issues worth mentioning with them in the wet (I have slid sideways for about 20m across a damp Toys R Us car park, but that was playing silly ******s and trying to learn how to back it into corners, with a bit too much exuberance
), and don't ride any differently to how I did on the Tourances.
