    Mixing tyres

    Does anyone see any issues in having a Michelin Pilot Sport front, and a Michelin Pilot Road rear? Please give reasons for/against. Thanks.

    Cool I did?

    I ran the same combination on my Bandit - didn't really ever feel that solid to me.
    I've got a Conti Sport Attack on the front and a Conti Road Attack on the rear - thats working well.
    Lifes Just one big ride - buckle up or hang on

    My last combination was a Pilot Power 2CT front and a Pilot Road 2 rear. The front wore out first, but not by a lot. I went with that combination because I like to replace tyres as a pair and it was a great combination.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!

    If you don't use a 'matched' pair, then always go for a stickier front.
    But why would you put that combo on an R6?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
