Anyone run Avon Distanzias?
« on: September 26, 2012, 02:22:29 PM »
They come in a 100-19 front and a 110-18 rear. I'm thinking they would look pretty sweet and perform well too. I had a set on some supermoto rims once on my KTM but barely used them. I couldn't find any pics of a CB with them.

I ran some Distanzas on my V-Strom.  They were good overall and delivered good feedback on dry pavement.  Wet roads... not so much.  They were a pretty long lasting tire though.

Why not try it. I ran a Kenda K761 on my CB750 and it was fine in the dry (little noisy) but not so great in the wet either.
