Hello there I am not sure if I have made the right choices i figured i would list the tyres i have used for my 11k use of my xtx

Both tyres started of life as standard Pirelli manufacturer tyres

Rear Tyres
Pirelli was well worn at 3800 miles replaced at 4400 miles
Continental Motion started looking worn after 4900 miles replaced after 5500
Continental Road Attack done 1k looking fine

Front Tyres
Pirelli started looking worn after 8k miles replaced after 9k really should have replaced after 8500k as when I took it off the rim i think my inner tube was made from thicker rubber but it was a very even wear lol
Continental Road Attack done 2k looking fine

the way ive always changed tyres on this bike and previous is to replace what needs replacing only as front and rear wear is normally very different

I did look at the Avon Distanzia but having never used Avon tyres and them having very mixed review online in general decided not to but would love to hear if any of u have used them how u found them as i may look into a second set rims
