Thanks for reply.Alot of people rave on about these tyres are they DUEL COMPOUND?

Sorry i'm new to this
Not sure, The Distanza's grip well enough, mine is on the blocks in the centre and squared off a bit but my commute is a bit to straight.

The main problem with tyres is they are a personel thing, different people find confidence in different things and then swear by them. Also some tyres suit different bike and riding styles differently.

Thats why I asked what mileage you were looking for.

I have tried several sets of "Sports tourer" on the fazer 6 I had and to be honest the difference was minimal both is how they gripped and how long they lasted. I used the old BT20's and found they were ok when new but followed over banding and white lines like mad when worn. But that may be different on the XT.

Not easy
