Are you willing to space the body up a couple of inches, which is not a suspension lift?

Are you willing to trim plastic inside the front wheel wells?

Are you willing to trim metal for the fenders?

Do you care if the tires rub once in a while?

I drove and did not like em Conti, but many people do. They were kicking at me a lot. Distanzia is a great street tire. they last forever and work in the wet. We prefer to stay with em all the time on the ground. However, when pressed hard on the track I prefer a sport bike tires standard, such as power or anything, but on the street over distanzias enough stick. The good news is that we all go through tires so fast that we will try everything! My next one will be bt003 is.
