I've read some good stuff about them over on the SMJ site, but that is for the supermoto version of these tires.qwer

I order all of my tires from www.americanmototire.com. They're some of the cheapest on the net, and they're pretty fast.

Also Juice, I know Bayou Boy has run the Distanzia's on his Strom and loved them. In fact, that's the tire he ran in Mexico when we went down there last year.

I have run 4 or 5 sets of the distanzias. They stick to where I drag the pegs on my lifted Strom and are very predictable in the wet. I think they work better offroad than any other 90/10 tire due to the large tread blocks and big spaces. I just got back (an hour ago) from 1500 miles to the hill country and back. THey worked great. I get them from swmototires.com

When you hold them next to the stock Trailwings you'll immediately notice the more U shape to the Distanzias. On your first ride you'll see how much quicker they fall in to the corner. After riding the Distanzias for a few thousand miles I got to ride a buddies bike with the Trailwings and thought, "damn this thing turns in slow. My bike feels so much more 'flickable."

So I guess that means that you like them.

I don't know why everyone is all "Tourances, Tourances. Distanzias suck." They don't at all. I probably have 25000 miles on Distanzias. Not to mention that they are cheaper than everything else.

Loved the Distanzias on my KLR. Needed to replace the TKCs on it now with the Distanz. Great wet or dry too.

IT's not a bad looking tire. I am thinking about the Anakees though. Have to see how things pan out though.
