I noticed these while surfing my tire supplier's website, and I don't think they've been discussed on BadWeb. Apparently they are the Distanzia's replacement, and they now come in our sizes. Nice looking tire -- I may just get a set when I'm next due.

The Distanzia was my favorite tire on my '06 Uly.

Anyone use these tires in the dirt or mud? They look like they might be a little slick in that situation.

They actually come in a 180.

To me, anything that doesn't have a knob at least an inch tall and an inch from any other knob isn't a good dirt tire.

Here is my current favorite:

The bad news is that you need to get an accessory to make them work with a Uly... a 1996 KDX-200. The good news is that its only a $1000 accessory, and it will positively transform your off road riding capabilities relative to the Uly on anything off road that is even remotely wet or steep. ; )
