I currently have Michelin Pilot Powers on my bike. I have a flat in the rear, but can‘t find the tire darn near anywhere!!!Is it okay to buy a different michelin that isn‘t a pilot power? Like say a Power pure? Do i need to have the exact same brands?Is it okay to put a totally different brand on the rear, like say a dunlop? If i can‘t find a matching set should i Buy a new matching set of a differing brand?HELP! and of course, thank you!
A common mix in Oz is a Power on the front and a Pilot Road 2 on the rear. Depending on how hard you ride, the only disadvantage to me is that the Pilot Road doesn't have a round enough profile i.e I get to the edge of the tyre quickly and then the contact patch starts to get smaller just when I need it the most. I run a Metzeler M3 on the front of my VTR with either a Pilot Road or an Avon AV56 on the rear. Grip is excellent and the tyres wear out at the same rate. This can be a pain though as you have to replace both at the same time (usually in the month when all the bills come in) Basically, a sticky front and a sports/tourer on the rear works very well.
I'll tell u wat, u hav found one of most stupid URL on the net. global warming is a well known FACT there is nothin fiction in it. if its fiction, the KYTO protocol wouldnt hav been launched detering the economic growth of the biggies like USA. n dnt u forget, the 180 billion of CO2 produced by nature is recycled by its own natural procees. all those sci-fic movies are just over exaggeration.dont u worry. if u still dont believe, u'll experience the heat in the decades to come.
As long as you stay with the same type of tire you should be OK. Just don't mix a cruiser tire with a race tire or a dirt tire. And be careful for a while with the new tire. It may handle the corners a little bit differently then you are used to, but then this happens when ever you change tires. Even when replacing with the same tire.
This is what i'll tell you--if you ride like I do then don't mix-reason being if it didn't matter why does the same company make 5 different tires for the same bike.Because they prefer you to match the tire with the type of riding that you do.Some compounds are soft for more grip some are harder for longevity for the highway.I don't want to have a soft tire in the front and a slip out from under you hard one-in the back.Sometimes companies will take that pilot tire and progress it to the next new tire and call it by a different name but it is still basically the same tire.I don't know where you are looking but look up wholesale tire companies and they got all kinds of them--one that comes to mind is chaparall-I think that is how you spell it.
Will you please use common sense. How could it be possible that CO2 being much heavier than the components of our atmosphere magically rises defying gravity and stays suspended in a magical layer above the earth? Do you want to see a real greenhouse layer? look at a big city from a distance on a hot day see that smog layer? Look at the same area at 5AM.where is it? Did it go to Al Gore's magical layer in the sky by a process of Gorefusion? NOit simply settled to the ground just like confetti would if you dropped it from a high building. Consider your source of information.Al Gore I invented the Internet I believe he is truly delusional. His old running mate Lieberman would not even be in the same room as he anymore. Would it benefit all of us if these were no CO2 emissions? Of course.is it realistic? NoWe can slowly cut down on emissions just as we are. We are not effecting the global climate.We are simply too small in the grand scheme of things to have that effect (barring full scale nuclear exchange).
