Tyre Choices??

Post by djheard91 » Sun Mar 08, 2015 6:59 pm

I recently bought a GK76 with:
A rear Maxxis Super Maxx Sport 160/60 ZR17 M/C 69W new and already fitted.
A front Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa 120/70 ZR17 M/C 58W nearly new to fit to the front.

What are peoples thoughts on putting these different tyres on at the same time? I don't know if there is any issues I may have with this pairing, whether I should just purchase a matching maxxis for the front or whether they'll work fine together and I should just fit the front and get riding?

Thanks for your thoughts

Ye I'd normally run the same but I just want to know if I can use the ones that came with it as they're both hardly used.

I did buy the panels off you, they've arrived and are great thanks, much better than the ones I had. I just need to get the bike up and running.

Just run them it will be fine.
I was running an old bt090, when I say old I mean the 1st series with different cut-outs to the latest one,
people kept saying it would kill me etc so I replaced it with the latest 003.

I got to say its no better with the new rubber, in fact I liked it better before and unless you are racing and actually quick you wont tell any difference on the road.
