Changing from Metzellar Tourance to Avon Distanzia ( now Trailrider) transformed the handling of my Tenere, it's now brilliant on roundabouts, bends etc. The Tourance were honestly the worst tyre I have ever experienced! Once you are confident in the grip of that big old 21 inch front wheel it handles great! I have an XR650R on 17 inch Supermoto wheels and it's brilliant but the front can be twitchy. Steve
