I bought a r6 which has Pilot Power tires on them. The tires have a little more than 700miles on them. Now my front tire got a nail in it and is now flat. So my question is that can I buy a brand new front tire on my bike?? will it effect performance because the rear is more worn?? do i gotta buy 2 new tires???or does it make no difference at all?????
Avon, Bridgestone. But it depends very much on what kind of tire you need. I would compare specific tires rather than just manufacturers. Any major manufacturer of motorcycle tires (Avon, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Metzeler, Michelin, etc.) will have some models that are good. Having said that, the Pirelli tires that I've looked at so far always had far too little life expectancy and I couldn't find any Continental tires that would suit my purpose.
Depends on your riding. If you live in a fly-over state and don't have any fun roads, you wont notice the difference. But if you are a twisty addict and spend you time dragging yours knees in the canyons, you might notice a quicker turn-in for the first 50 miles or so. You should stick with a Pilot Power for the front to maintain the matched set. Then when your more expensive rear tire wears out, you should replace both. And if you have the ability, you should consider ordering your tires online to avoid the huge markups at the dealership.
Not a problem. The only time it may be one is buying one new tire when the other is darn close to wasted itself, but hopefully at that point you ordered two.
