Coume Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Hello,As posted in another thread, my rear tyre is punctured and needs replacing.My front is a BT-021, less than 1,000 miles so don't really fancy replacing it.I am thinking of installing a BT-023 at the rear, ride front BT-021/rest BT-023 until the front needs changing (3k/4k max) and then move onto BT-016PRO front and BT-023 rear.Would you see any issue riding a combination of BT-021/BT-023 and then BT-016 Pro/BT-023?The other option is too install Pilot Road 3 both front and back and try selling on ebay my front BT-021 but are the Pilot Road 3 really that much better in the wet to justify the over spending?Any advice / comments will be more than welcome.ThanksLudo Quote
TC Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I don't know about road Pilot 3s in the wet. But the RP 2s are great in the rain really give your confidence in all weather conditions.As for mixing tyre types Personally i would never do it on a bike, as the tyres might not have a consistent tread to disperse water or grip the the road. I like both tyres to do exactly the same to keep the bike balanced and stable in the bends. Quote
