tyres that go together.........
« on: 21 April 2013, 02:18:33 pm »
shlapped the angel on the front with a diablo strada on the rear (don't want to wear the new angel out before the rome trip).
took her out for a 'bimble' this morning and found myself dragging my knee/peg around my fave roundabout :eek
it does make me wonder if we use our tyres to anywhere near their limit.....which is a good thing really, i like a safety margin.
anyway, it would seem that pirelli road tyres can be mixed and matched without too many problems!
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!

Personally I've never had problems mixing tyres, although now I tend to only mix different model types within the same brand ie Michelin PR3 rear pilot power 2 front (although this was on T,cat and Gixxer 750)
Haven't looked into what decent tyre there is these days for the fazer 110 front.

Btw I got 16000 miles out of the rear on the Gixxer and I didn't hang about on that, cracking tyre IMO!
Some say...
