MIX or PAIR?
« on: August 16, 2010, 15:48:55 »
just swapped by back again for another conti road attack, and still a few miles left in the front, so didn't need to swap it (road attack too)

But I wondered about what you thoughts are on mixing different makes front and back? or do you stick to pairs?

I have ridden mixed pairs in the past. from personal experience, the bike always handles a lot better when you have matched tyres on there
