Stim is on a distinguished road
Smile Distanzia vs Trailrider

Hello Everyone Well my Tourances are wearing down,both fore & aft,they've been perfectly alright for me I have to add,not asking alot of them on asphalt & certainly hardly ever asking anything of them off road,but I think I'd like to try something other than the Tourance. I've not had any experience of the Distanzia at all,but I do like Avon tyres,more specifically,the Gripsters of yesteryear,I used to have them on both a Yam DT200R & TDR250 which I had years ago,I found these tyres really really good. Have extremely good memories of them in all conditions. So my thinking is that the more modern Distanzia & even more modern bang up to date Trailrider would do an extremely good job indeed on my Tenere. But which pair should I go for? The Distanzia at a bit less cost or the bang up to date new Trailrider ? Has anyone any experience of comparing them? Anyone tried the Trailrider at all? I have looked and there doesn't seem to be much comment on the Trailrider,maybe that is because it's so new?

Any thought,comments & especially imparting your experiences of both these tyres will be very useful & greatly appreciated by me. I will be riding On-Road with only a few metres of unsealed hardcore surface to ride over.

Many Thanks fellow Tenere Folks
