Cool...thanks again.

 

I believe this to be BS also...The lateral movements or flexes on the radial VS Bias is different but the only really noticeable difference would be on trailers...When they are in-line you shouldn't be able to tell...well at least on a Harley anyway...Maybe running a sport bike at very high speed...I ran a Bias on the rear and radial on the front for over 10k and never noticed anything different and this is in a variety of roads...

 

I used to mix Dunlops and Metzlers on my bike for years. Never a problem.

 

I have heard that said, but I think that goes back to older bias tires. I've seen plenty with mix match tires and no problems these days.

 

it's a wives tale. you can use whatever tires will fit, some guy was mentioning recently about wanting to use a car tire on his. a real no-no. mixing brands does not harm anything at all as long as they're the correct size and aired up properly. sorta reminds me of walking into one of my friends shops and seeing a couple of car batteries sitting on 2x4's. that's a big old wives tale. used to be for the old rubber cased batteries with tar as the sealant on the top. not to worry about your tires though.

 

The word Crock! come to mind?

 

It's complete baloney.

 

Thanks for all the help, it is time to replace my rear tire. I recently had my front replaced under warranty so I didn't want to replace both...thanks again.

 

I don’t know for sure, but I have a buddy who is running different front and rear tires. At 80 mph he is experiencing a serious wobble. He is not sure if this is due to the tires or is it is possible an alignment issue.

 

The first thing he needs to do is check tire pressure.......
