No very happy with the look, but with 46g on the back and 60g on the front I think that would have made quite a difference to the feel.
What are your thoughts please?

Distressing I know, I fitted Distanzias and the muppets could not find the kit to balance the wheels at the time so I had no option to ride unbalanced and you know what it made no difference at all. The bike handled fine without the weights. I am not saying you do not need the weights.
I think you will have to live with them unless you can find a place to do the spoke weights just like the OEM ones if anyone does do these.
I just had a look at mine and I have no spoke weights or anything on the front but I do have a spoke weight on the rear which is almost exactly opposite the valve. I wonder if that has something to do with it... As you know I am on the first set of standard tyres just like you were.
Other than the fitting issue are you happy with the tyres or is it to early to assess them?
