I really like the look of the enduro/knobby tire I think it makes the bonnie look more 'vintage.' Anyone running the Avon Distanzia or the Tourance? I would like to see some pics before I buy, and find out more on the ride quality and overall performance of such tires.

IMHO I think it will lessen your handling qualities greatly. The nobby tires dont wear well @ all on the road as well. If its a "Sunday go Rider" then its sorta irrelevelent? If not Id advise against it. They are a bit noisier as well. Scrambler for a little off road sure. For the street- think twice? :???:

Thatsd just crazy!
Dual purpose tires are VERY slippery, and very short lived on the street.

They are also very noisy.

And you would put them on just for the looks?

Maybe drill some holes in the motor for those vintage looking oil leaks....
