Installed the Avon Distanzia tires today. Very nice.
The rear tire 160/60-17 is slightly narrower than the stock 170/60-17. But it is easier to install, and looks good. Handles very nice offroad and I have no complaints.

I considered the pierelli Corsair, but I read review that remarked it was soft and deteriorated quickly.

We'll see how much mileage I get on these, on the way to Alaska.

The Yellowjacket GS...who needs a new bike. The best bike is a paid for bike.

I love those tyres.

BTW what screen is that?

Looks like the BMW touring screen. I have the same screen on the same bike.

Thanks for the info YC had just ask about you on AdventureRider
cause had forgot where I had heard about what you were doing.
Good Luck on the trip

Hey Charlie!
So how's the Avon Distanzias worked out?
I'm looking at tires for my Alaska trip this spring on my R, I would love to hear some feedback.
Tires like this would open up many (dirt) roads for me, maybe even make to The Artic Ocean...........






Thanks Wayne.

Hey YC,

Please excuse me if I am incorrect but weren't you the one who did the ride from Florida to Alaska? If so, I think you had a preview clip of the video of the ride. When will the actual video but put together for the ride.

You got that right!The bike that is paid for is the best.
