Re: rear tyre on front - mot issues
As previously mentioned for the difference in price is it worth losing any insurance cover or your life.

Re: rear tyre on front - mot issues
Funnily enough one of the proposals for changes to the MOT in May is to remove the failure due to tyres not fitted according to the directional marker but for the time being as already stated it'll fail.

Re: rear tyre on front - mot issues
That’s because people don’t know what tyres can be put in front - for those who do know should pass etc

Re: rear tyre on front - mot issues
Aren't those classes just cars and other 4-wheelers? Or are bikes included somewhere else?

Re: rear tyre on front - mot issues
How many bikes use a 120 section rear tyre anyway ? Personally I would not fit anything wider on front, as previous poster said ' you don't muck about with tyres'.
