Miss Matched Tires

Uncle Ben · May 21, 2020

My rear diablo super corsa is due to be replaced, a big flat spot from lots of highway miles and little corners. The front tire seems fine. I was thinking of replacing my rear tire with a Diablo Rosso corsa 2, which should give me a little extra longevity.

Should I replace the front tire with a Rosso corsa 2 as well? Or am I fine leaving the super corsa on the front?

Will be fine they're the same make mate usually two backs to one front

Yup, you’re good. What’s not good is miss matching touring tires with sport tires, or a hard carcass tire with a soft carcass, etc. You could still probably get away with it but any emergency maneuvers or aggressive riding might prove other wise.

Yeah be fine, I just replaced the tyres on my ZX10.
With Michelin Road's, Road 5 on front, Road 3 on back.
As they don't make Road 5 for the back (old bike)
All is good
