PACIFICMAN Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hello all, I have a newish Michelin 2CT on the front of my '07 ABS. The rear is shot out, but the front is still fully treaded and in fine shape. Obviously I don't sport and canyon as much as I once did. The tires came on the bike and were freshly installed just prior to my purchase. I really liked these tires, how ever I am mostly commuting on freeways n ow and the rear is "new" on the edges and Flat in the center. I know others have combined tire models for better wear, handling, weather, etc. on the VFR. Question: Given my riding is commute oriented and I am in SoCal(so weather is rarely a factor, but I do like to have some sport capability / traction in hand) What would be a be a good mate for my front 2CT? I like Michelin and have never heard that mixing brands is a good idea, but I am open to all suggestions and opinions, typically never in short supply on here... Thanks In Advance!

Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted April 2, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted April 2, 2018 Mixing brands may not be that wise and mixing tire types can have its concerns but I have to say that I’ve mixed a pure sport front with a sport-tour rear with no issues. My combo, up until this last set i just put on, was a Michelin Pilot Power 3 (front) with a Michelin Pilot Road 4 (rear) and this worked great for both commuting/touring and sport riding. I have since gone to the Road 5 as a set and so far happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
