tyres do they after be same make

[chric]

Do the tyres need to be same brand as have dunlop on rear
but front they are saying pilot2 and say its ok

[popkat]

They don't have to be the same, but a matching pair is better, the bike will ride better for it, if your rear dunlops good then why not fit a matching front, if you want to try PR2's (good tyre) then go for a pair next time your rear wears out, if your dunlops half worn then try the PR2's now and flog the Dunlop on ebay or keep it as an emergency spare.

Thanks rear got less than a thousand on so ill stick with dunlop

Dunlop is a wide shallow profile usually, Michelin is the other end of the spectrum, with a narrow one, so those generally don't mix well... But others, more similar will...

Tyres that are the same make and design will be built to work together.
