Sorry if this question has been posted already...
SW tire tells me Metzler only makes an 880 radial for the front.

Is it OK to run a 120/70R-17 (radial) on the front
and a 160/70 B-17 (bias) on the rear?

Or should I go with Bias all around?

What are yall running for Metz. 880 sizes?

(I do not want to switch tire brands. I am DONE with the bridge 020's )

I enjoy occasional spirited riding, (twisties) I figure radials would help a little in that department..
thanks in advance.


PS.
How you been, Messenger13 ? It's been a while. :D

Oh yeah,

When I bought the bike, It had a radial on the front and a bias on the back and it handled OK... I just thought the previous owner screwed up or replaced a tire on the road with whatever he could get...

I am currently running Bridgestone 020's
did I mention I hate them? :rolleyes:
