Hi all.

My first winter with the XTR is coming up. But so far the winter in Sweden has been a disaster.... Too warm and the thickness of the ice on the lakes are not enough!!

But yesterday I fitted my winter tires and will take it for a ride this afternoon. The weather condition is appr -3 degrees C and 15 cm of snow!!

Sure it�s gonna be great fun!

Just had the Avon Distanzias fitted due to the high mileage achieved and generally good feedback, my first impressions was on wet roads where they feel very "stuck" to the tarmac in a good sense, i have subsequently ventured out onto wet/icy roads and they felt safe & secure so all very promising especially if i get the reported mileage out of set as reported by others, so all in all very happy and although the Tourances were very good i would state that these are just as good if not better and i will get twice the life out of the Distanzias compared to the Tourances, 10/10

PS the garage had a hard time fitting the rear and it became clear to me that a diy roadside puncture repair would be a no-no because of this, so 9/10

Cheers
Steve
