Hi Guys,

The short answer to your question is.. NO.

You should not have an 'un-matched' set of tyres.

I know some riders will go for a 'stickier' compound on the front but from the same tyre Co. but even this is recommended against, as the tyre Co. design their tyres as matched pairs. (compound, tread pattern etc.)

I would not use tyres from Different Tyre Co. on the same bike, unless I am stuck and have no other option!

Cheers, G
