I'm going to be needing new tires soon, and I have a quick question. I've read lots of good things about Avon Distanzias, but I have a strange front tire size. I need a 110-80R18, and that means I would need to mount a "rear" Distanzia backwards up front to fit. Someone on ADV has the same bike with the same setup and likes it, but I wanted to hear your take on it. As I understand it, using a rear in the front is ok as long as it's reversed to accept load (braking) in the correct direction, as the rear tire gets most of it's force directed forward and vice versa. The main pitfalls as I understand them are 1.) the tread is reversed, making it act strange in the rain* 2.) no dealership will mount one like that. For what it's worth, it would be Distanzias or the OEM replacement tires, which are Dunlop K505s. The bike is a 92 Nighthawk 750. *ADV guy says they're just fine in the rain ** ** I live in Portland
