When would you change these? - Page 2 - SV650.org

Just ride on the side more

... and yes, you can. Some people say don't mix, but front 2s and rear 4s are fine as you probably won't get to the limit of the front tyre by the time you need to change the rear.

yes you can if you like. at the moment i run a PR4 rear and a PR3 front, most folk will say no dont but its entirely up to the individual to make their own decision.

You can try it but you'll probably want one of those nice PR4s for the front then! If I was riding it I would have no qualms about mixing them.

If you mix them your eyes will melt

and your regulator will fry.

ps
My Bike has a Bias Belt front and a Radial rear.
And that how it came out the factory!!

I just meant there's nothing wrong with running a PR2 front and a PR4 rear, but when you put a lovely new PR4 with a quick smooth turn in on the rear, and run a part worn PR2 on the front you'll be wishing you had a lovely new PR4 front. Don't need to buy a new front tyre it was just a joke! As I've said previously if it was my bike I would have no problem running a mixed pair of tires. Unless I get a puncture I normally replace in pairs as I wear both tyres pretty evenly (wear the edges of the front out and the centre of the rear about 8000-10000 miles for PR3s). I can't wait to get back to the PR4s once I wear these BT-21s out that came with the bike.

I think ntec was having a laugh about the whole mixing tyres thing. He genuinely has a bias front and radial rear as new from factory on his tiger 800

You know me

I think the smiles gave me away.
The thing is that triumph list an alternative fitment of 110/80-19.(oe 100 /90 -19.
And there's a good choice of radials in that size. Even the scorpions a radial in that size!
Still goes round corners just feels a bit dead. But it's a bit of an unfair comparison from the M5 shod 675 Daytona.
