I usually wear out nearly two rears to one front and the new rear will go on with the part worn front, no probs. Same with the TDM

Put them both on the zed, you won't be going anywhere on the Storm for a while.

"I dont take risks with tyres, not worth it."

I think you answered your own question.

New rear and pert worn front? No problems.
My old SP1 could eat a 2CT in 1100 miles so a front often outlasted 3 rears.

BTW...did I hear a rumour that you were going to Monza?

Mixing new and used tyres is not a problem, just beware the release agent on the new ones!!!! caught many a bike out

What Timbo's going to Monza, so am i, i hope he buy's me a beer.

Nearly always wear out two rears for one front.

I've currently got BT021 on the front and BT020 on the rear of my ZZR1100 and its fine.

Just watch out for his little chubby ZIP- It could get embarrassing

If I swapped the front every time I skinned the rear the tyre man would love it! Due to a muscle spasm problem in my right wrist brought on by years of watching Internet art I usually skin a rear in a Thousand miles , the front is just starting to show signs of wear at that mileage. Just do the rear Timbo.

Get some Pilot Road 2CTs then. I have a set on the blade...0ver 2K miles on the rear (including a trackday) and there is still loads left on there. Great road tyres. Not so good on track as they overheat and let go.

Pilot Road 2CTs it may be then, at the mo the Dunlop Qualifiers (OEM Fit) are pretty good to be honest. Glad I could brighten your day Tim problem is due to the time spent appreciating the Eastern European Art the metamorphosis has begun..........this time neat year I will be changing my user name to Blue Clawed Fiddler Crab!
