For those of you that have opted for the Avon Distanzias for the Uly, what price did you pay? I have been quoted 295- for tires only on my 08 Uly. Just curious as there are not of lot of dealers in my area to choose from. Thanks--- |

Thanks for the input. It looks like the 160/60 17 for the rear is the best fit. Any problems with the sizing? |

I just spooned on a set this past weekend. The 160/60 rear fit just fine. Though I have noticed that the rear "falls" very quickly into a turn as compared to the 180/55 on there before. Then again, I am coming off of worn out D616's. I will put on around 2k miles this weekend at MBV...so it'll be a good test of the tires. I bought mine from SWMototire.com for I think $230. |

A local dealer (not H-D/Buell) sells tires as a loss leader. I always order through them and mount myself. Last set of Distanzias were around $80 front and $95 rear. Plus tax. I just ordered some Pilot Road 2s for a fairly long pavement trip coming up next month. About $225 total for both. Regarding the Distanzias, note that this size is a SM (supermoto) tire; stickier, but doesn't wear as long. I still love 'em for on/off pavement. |

+3 on the stickiness of the distanzia- fantastic tire and looks like I'll still get 4k miles on it |
