Tire combo advice

Hey guys.

So I plan on riding some smooth road (this condition roughly 30 miles), gravel roads, mixed with a little hardpacked stuff, and minor fine sand and wanted to get opinions on tire combo.

I placed the Pirelli Scorpion Enduro on the front and currently on the rear wheel is a Avon Distanzia, which is a bitch to get off (thus spawning my inquiry). Do you think that set up is OK or do I need to install the Dunlop D606?

cant speak for sand but distanzia is fine for hard packed dirt and gravel roads. cant speak for sand

Yeah, and them being the lowest bidder screwed us over, there were many far superior screw designs to choose from...

I like the BRP tripple with the Scotts stabilizer . Anyone have one ? is it worth the money ?
this has been touched upon before and I would have to say that there were only a couple people that didn't care for them, everyone one else liked them, including me, I'm sure it has saved me more then once and my arm pump and sore shoulders/neck have been Hugely reduced, it's worth having it on there just for that.
