Mixing Front and Back

[Tone165]

I was told the front needs to be a softer compound than the back, because if you are going to slip, you want it to be the back.

Have you aligned the wheels recently?

Just a point that was given to me recently...

If front lets go...low-side! When it comes to stepping off, lowside is preferred method.

If rear lets go..hi-side! Do not try this at home!

I would imagine that tyre manfrs would know this and take into account when matching fr/rear sets.

A friend of mine is running a Pilot Power 2CT up front and P/Road 2CT down back, so far its all good, he is hoping to improve fr/rear wear ratio which atm is around 1to 1.5. He gets about 7k per rear.
