Hi

Not sure about those tyres in question. But the front original dunlop is supposed to be terrible is it not? I personally would have replaced both tyres after having heard all of the horror stories of them on this forum. But I mis match tyres all the time and don't have any problems.

You should get £50 for that tyre on ebay.

I wouldn't and don't trust any dealer. Full stop. Sell rear tyre, sell front tyre and get two new ones. :)

Colin,

Bad mix mate. Go to strathearn tyres in crieff. Very knowledgeable and one of the guys has an sv so knows the best fit. He told me that when the rear goes on the oem tyres to replace both and dont mix. The oem d220s are a japanese compound which don't suit our roads.

You don't need to get z6's by the way - diablo stradas are the same tyre, same company just slightly diff tread pattern.

I got rid of my oems after the first 1k. Switched to stradas and they are magic. Much more confident in the wet. Did a wet run tonight(see video thread later).

£145 for the pair fitted at strathearn.
