Mixing tyres

[crankcase]

A mate asked if it would be ok to fit a BT023 to the rear and a BT014 to the front of his 06 CBR1000RR.
Same manufacturer sticky one to the front is there a problem doing this ?
Whether the front will ever be up to temperature i don't know but he is right into track days so maybe yes.
Would they have different profiles and would the turn in go all to f*ck ?

not sure about turn in as such but allways best to have sticky on front and harder on rear, dont want the rear gripping on a corner while the front slides out , possible to catch the back but never the front.

My 2p:

It depends on what Bridgestone recommend, I know they say you can mix certain models, but it would be best to check with them to make sure it would be ok.

Thanks for the info. He decided on BT023 front and rear in the end. Seems happy with them
