Ok so I know you shouldn't mix tyres but here's my question, I currently have the Pirelli Rosso Corsas front and rear but the rear is shot, was Gunna fit the scrub Pirelli supercosa tomorrow but was thinking of leaving the front rosso corsa as it's fine and also has more tread and with the weather starting to turn thought it was the more sensible tyre, what do you guys think, or should I just swap em both so they match?

I think the usual advice is to have the softer grippier tyre at the front.

being female I don't know a lot and my bike has taken the back burner last couple of weeks with house and things, but it would be a no no from me. I have done it once with near disastrous consequences

Cheers I swapped em both to the supercorsa last night, and it hasn't stopped raining here since so I'll wait for it to dry before taking them out, also need to sort the rear hugger out as with the new one being a taller profile it just touches the hugger so I need to have a play around with that tonight
