On mixing front and rears.
I have had the following combos on the busa.
Rear 200 Bridgy 014 with front BT056 - Very good combo but the rear only lasted 4,500.
Rear 190 Bridgy 020 with front BT056 - Very good but slipped a bit when cold and wet. Long lasting, nearly 15000 out of the rear.
Rear 190 Bridgy 020 with front BT014 - Better than the previous setup but still a little slippery in bad conditions.
Rear 190 Metzeller M3 with front BT014 - A great combo while the BT014 ran down to the markers and then got a little hairy on the front. It developed a hard centre line and dropped in on corners.
Rear 190 Metzeller M3 with front M3 - The best combo so far.
After 10000 ks the rear needs to go but is still as good on the grip as when new and the front is about 1/2 worn.
On my previous bike, Triumph Sprint ST 955, I used to run a Michellin Pilot Road on the front with a BT020 and it was a great combo. Rgds BUSGO
