New tyre needed

uksoldierboy · 21 Jun 2015 at 12:49

Hiya guys,

It would seem that the 3500 miles I've put on my bike since passing has taking it toll on my rear tyre, just checking things over this morning and noticed the wire is slightly showing on a small area.

The front is fine still so I'm looking for help and a point in the right direction as to where I can find a Diablo rosso 2 for my R6, I've had a quick look on demon tweeks but the wait time is 17days.

New to getting tyres etc for bikes so appreciate any help.

Means I have to get both then wazza lol, I'd rather just get the rear and give the GTs a go on the next cycle.

Don't ever give advice like this again... do NOT mix and match tires on a bike.

All sorted, Ordered a replacement Rosso 2 for the rear as the front still has loads of tread left, also ordered a set of Battlaxs too.

is there an echo in here?

Never seen anyone have a problem mix and match, the advice arises because you should not run a softer stickier rear than the front, and even then you'd have to be a quick rider in the corners to wash out the front because the rear has more grip.
