dual purpose tire for SV650 standard

[tguidry]

I want to start enjoying some of the Colorado dirt roads so need a dual purpose tire for my 06 SV650 standard.

My bike came with 120/60ZR17 on the front and 160/60ZR17 on the rear. So far all I have found is the Avon Distanzia which has a 120/70HR17 for the front and two different sizes for the rear - 150/70HR17 or 160/60HR17. Is this a good tire and if so, will their front tire work with my fender and what size do you recommend for the rear?

thanks,

tom

Speak to RandyO, I doubt there's anyone better qualified to answer your question... Probably easier to get him on SV Rider by the way, he's more regular on there. Hope this helps!
