Puncture problem

Hi Folks, Quick question, has anybody had problems with fitting an Avon Distanzia to the front of their Tenere. I had one fitted on Saturday and have had 2 punctures so far. I think the tyre and tube are creeping around the rim and ripping the valve away from the tube. I have still to confirm this as the first time the tyre place threw the tube away before I could check and I need to take the tyre off for the second time.

The punctures only occur after 150 - 180 miles and there's no objects in the tyre. On the sidewall, it says that if fitting a tubeless tyre to a tube type rim fit a tube, so I thought it would be OK.

N.B. I've had no problem with the rear Distanzia

Any help appreciated
Ta.
