Avon Distanzias on XTX
Hi everyone!
Hubby just bought an 05 X and I've been busy reading through the forum to see what tyres people are using. Been reading this thread http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?...t=tires&page=3 and notice heaps of people using the Distanzias. The tyre on the front of hubbys X at the moment is a 120/60-17. Looking at Avon's website I see they only come in 120/70-17 so I'm assuming this is what you are all using and they fit ok? Sorry for the novice question! Cheers M |

Yes that is right the bike your husband bought had been fitted with a thinner front tyre by the previous owner and the correct size is indeed 120/70 R17

Just to give you peace of mind have a look at page 2, chapter 8 of the user manual (let me know if your husband has this manual or I can let you dowload a free copy)
These are the tyre specs for the XTX and XTR, I have highlithed the ones for the XTX |

been using pilot 2's duel compound tyres and they are great also. They appear to be keeping their shape better and not squaring off so much as I tend to do a lot of motorway riding to work.

Hopefully we can get some, shall try next week. Not too many options for tyres available in NZ that are usually a stock item. Many have to be ordered with the next shipment and take 8-10 weeks.
I wouldnt mind a set of the Distanzias for my bike too. Might be a bit cheaper that the Metzelers! |
