Distanzia

Just spoken direct to Avon by my tyre man it will be at least another 3 wks before going into production and there is already a back log of orders,so you more like looking at 5 wks to get hold of them.
Its broken my heart to have to go elsewhere but got good price on Dunlop mutants supermotard.Please dont say if good or not must have open mind and find out myself.

Johnno,

As i lsited before the Distanzias are available in Europe and i shipped a rear tyre in last week at a slight increase above UK prices.

Pirelli have just released a new Scorpion tyre which is very similar in style to the Distanzia, although i have never tried those, yet!!

Use the Internet and source your Distanzias, you know you are worth it.

Mutants

Bought some anyway, they arrive tomorrow, �159 for a pair deliverd. Phoned up my local motrobike shop to ask about fitting them and they said as I didnt buy the tyres from them it would cost �70 to fit them, I told them to f#@k off. Shame as they are less than half mile from my house, so now I have my XT with a flat back tyre and no garage close by to fit my new Mutants. So frustrating.

if u take wheels out yourself National tyres charge �10 per wheel but make sure they have the protectors for painted wheels.Also there is a charge at bike shops for getting rid of your old tyres its around �5 per tyre when you get a price see if they will knock a tenner off if you take old tyres with you.All the best

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
