I got a tug from the plod and was told my front MEZ 3 was bald which it was
![]() The VOSA chap with him took the bike details my name and addy etc. He then says " I will be at this spot for the next two hours, If you can nip off and get a new tyre and come back and see me i will forget the points and the fine. ![]() I thought fair enough , nice bloke. I took of down the road and got to a tyre place. No MEZ 3's in stock but could order them. (no Good) He said i have an AVON AZARO but i would not suggest you mix. So Option 1 = Order MEZ 3 and get 3 point and a fine Option 2 = Replace front and rear at a cost of £185 (rear mez3 is fine) Option 3 = Mix the tyres. I took option 3 ![]() Best move i have ever made. The whole bike has seemed to come alive, cornering is so much better and i feel i am getting more respose from the road. I know thay say dont do it but for me it has worked. What are you thoughts |

If you had a pair of the Azaros, I think you'd be even more impressed. I loved em on my SV. I must admit though that the people at JHS racing did not recommend mixing them.

I got my K6 with the stock 220's. Obviously the rear wore faster than the front.
When the time came to change the rear, I put a Z6 Roadtec on it, and left the 220 stock front. For a while it felt awesome! Then the front went downhill, fast & I ended up having an off. I would do the same sort of thing in a heart beat though, but just keep an eye on the older tyre a lot closer! |

I would go out tonight and buy a lottery ticket :P
I think you had a very lucky escape to have an understanding VOSA guy, most of them are practising nazi's MEZ 3 and 4 need replacing with Roadtechs or Conti Road Attack anyway |
