Hi s.steele259
 

Welcome to the forum:sunny:. I would definately recommend the Avon Distanzia's. I know they are they are not a specialist dry tyre but they have given me so much more confidence full stop. I ride all weathers to work and they are great tryes. Rode about a 1000 miles so far with no sign of wear. They came highly recommended by forum members. Dont worry that they look a bit like off roadish chunky type tyres, they are far superior to the pirelli's in my book.:guitar player:

thx,where's the cheapest place to get them that you know of?

Busters Accessories. Or search Ebay for a pair deal.

Ive recently (1000mile) fitted a new tyre on the front of mine and used a 65 profile rather than the original 70. Handles so much better. (though that could also be going from a ****e tyre to a good one :P)

was that a avon?

Got michelin pilot sport on mine and they're great tyres. Pretty good in the wet as well. Used them on my other bikes and rate them. Got Avon ST on my cbr at the moment and have been using these for about 8k and they're probably the best tyre for do everythingability I ever used.

cheers,was thinking about the pilot sports as not too keen on the look of distanzia's,too chunky looking for me.

X tyre size
 

[IMG]file:///C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-8.png[/IMG]Hi all, just a quick question, I followed the link to the Avon tyre site and searched for the xt 660 x, and it spat out the tyres that would my X.

However the Distanzi is an option on the front wheel only.

I have seen Distanzia tyres for sale on fleebay that are all sorts of sizes and speed ratings. I am a little confused about all things tyres. Can one of you explain why this is and what are the correct tyre sizes for the front and back wheels of my 09 XTX.

Oh and can you keep it simple
Many thanks

I use Diablo Rosso front & rear on my XTX.
