Author Message   Jb2607 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 05:00 pm:        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---   Bienhoabob Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 05:09 pm:        Looks like $240 from these guys. www.motorcycle-superstore.com/2/29/393/5306/ITEM/A von-AM44-Distanzia-Rear-Tire.aspx   Rotorhead Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 05:34 pm:        $223 and no shipping on pairs!! this is where i get mine on my second set now. 3 days to ship not to bad. http://arizonamoto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Scre en=CTGY&Store_Code=SWMT&Category_Code=Distanzia single tire shipping $14   Jb2607 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 08:09 pm:        Thanks for the input. It looks like the 160/60 17 for the rear is the best fit. Any problems with the sizing?   Michael1 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 09:17 pm:        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.   Jb2607 Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 - 11:49 am:        Just back from Iowa and order the Distanzias from SW Moto Tires. 229.90 w/no shipping fees. 120/70HR-17 front and 160/60HR-17 rear. Thanks guys... JB   Dr_greg Posted on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 - 02:54 pm:        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.   Buellerandy Posted on Friday, April 18, 2008 - 12:55 pm:        +3 on the stickiness of the distanzia- fantastic tire and looks like I'll still get 4k miles on it
