Avon Distanzia Supermoto tires...
http://www.motostrano.com/avdisuti.html
... any reason we couldn't (or wouldn't want to) run a set of these on a Sportster...? 
I would have to get a new 17" wheel in the back because that's the only size they offer for a rear tire.
They do make a 100/90H-19 for the front though.
I think they would look pretty mean on an Iron or Nightster.

just put a 21 on my xlc...bikes down right now so i don't have a performance report but i agree they are sweet lookin
hell i don't even have a pic of it on the bike yet...currently shavin my lowers...it looks good though.
one thing i wondered and maybe someone can chime in...it says on my old tires (avon venoms) they are 4 ply sidewalls and on these they are 2 ply...whats the deal with that??

The tread appears to be a little deeper and softer than a standard m/c tire.

Soo...
Dunno how the weight of a 'larger capacity supermoto' compares to the weight of our Sportsters.
I'd hate to go from a 150 down to a 120 on a 16" wheel, but that's as wide as they make them.

Still... they would LOOK really cool.
The day Avon makes a 4ply in a 150x16", they've got at least one sale they can count on.

Pirelli makes a tire that looks kind of like that called (I think) the Scorpion. Look cool as hell but I'm not sure if they have the same cons as those Avons. May be worth a look if you are serious about that style of rubber.
