As a long time user of Distanzia tyres, I would strongly advise you against mixing these 2 particular tyres, the Distanzia's have a complete different thread pattern, and a much grippier compound than a Pirelli, mixing these two can lead to an unsafe balance between the two whereby the rear tyre will give you a heap of confidence and the front tyre won't.
This can lead you into thinking you can approach a corner without realizing that the front compound could fail to perform as well as the rear one and you could slide the front tyre and come off. |

Tough enough for larger capacity Supermoto bikes, the Distanzia's distinctive tread pattern is designed to provide excellent performance in both on- and off-road conditions. It's nimble through corners, stable on the straights, and boasts top-class roadholding in the dry and the wet. All sizes: �99 per pair http://www.discountmotorcycletyres.c...ycle_tyres.htm |
