Steve Rose, who had a long term GS when he was with RiDE mag, used to rate them quite highly. I'm currently running an Avon Gripster rear, Tourance front, and I can't fault the Avon so far.

Avons... square off and wear out in less than 3k, only marginally better than an oe Bridgestone.

"Avons square off"
Richard,
I think that depends on your rideing style ("anoth said") my Distanzia's have been on the bike for 4,000 miles now, nice "even" wear, good grip & feedback approx 2/3rds wear and i think Migsel will back me up that i dont hang around!

I ran a set of Distanzias a couple of years ago when it was hard to get Tourances. No problems and just as good as the Tourance as far as I could tell. I would be happy with either - it jut depends what's in stock. Michelins and Bridgestones (Trailwings) were crap, in comparison. Might try a set of BT020s now, though...

Had 2 sets on my GS1150, excellent in the dry but inconsistent in the wet, sometimes they gripped & then they didnt. Poor wear rate & dearer than Tourance which I prefer overall.
