New Tyres

HI, i have just ordered a brand new set of standard size Avon Distanzia tyres for my XT660R 2008, hope this is the right call ? Can any one out there give me some feed back if this was the correct choice, i mainly cover on road work.

Many Thanks

Dont go too mad at first, give them a hundred miles to scrub in. Also make sure your tyre pressures are the yamaha recommends and not the Avon recommends only I made that mistake and it was scarey to say the least.:tongue1:

Hi Nigel

You'll love the Distanzias I fitted some to my R last year and have had an excellent handling bike ever since, lots of grip in the dry and the wet!

I raved about them so much my mate has now ordered some for his FMX.

Hope you enjoy them!

Had a set on last year and worked fine for me, gave good feed back, gripped like sh*t to the bottom of your boots and gave a good amount of life. Just make sure to run them in before you start giving them stick, around 100miles or so.

Hi, To everyone who helped me and gave such great input on my tyre Problem !! Thank you all very much indeed:SpinHappy_15XK8L:.

I have just rode back from the bike shop now and the bike is 1000% transformed!! a real pleasure to ride, just got to run them in for 100 miles or so, really looking forward to getting out there. I love my XT660R. and my Avons.
