My Street Triple has different tyres on front and rear: the OE dunlop qualifiers on front and a pirelli diablo rear. I've always understood that mixing tyres isn't a good idea and I'll speak to Sillets to confirm, but what is the general opinion - change or keep as is.
Thanks

Not recommended in my opinion. If nothing else it can cause problems if you have to claim on your insurance should you come off.rasmie wrote:My Street Triple has different tyres on front and rear: the OE dunlop qualifiers on front and a pirelli diablo rear.
