tire 110/90/18 front --170/60/17 rear

which brand tire type? is the softest one for front? i am using dunlop f20 its not good handling on road and brake is so bad it is skid to when i want stoping... rear same too...

Old school biased up front and radial in the rear?

What are you putting these on? Seems like a very weird pair of sizes. Are you looking for both tires to be tubeless radials? If so, think the closest you will get is 110/80/18 front and 170/60/17 rear like the Michelin Pilot Road 3 or something similar. Ed

Mine ran a 3.25 -19 on front and the metric equivalent is 100-90-19. A 110-90-19 is a pretty fat front tire.

how is 180 55 17 pirelli scorpion sync for rear?
and v or h rated is softer? , how is bridgestone g525 for front or dunlop l 309,continental super twin? for front,

I'm still trying to figure out why you want to mix a bias front tire with a radial rear tire. This is not a recommended practice. Ed

Avon makes a Roadrider AM26 V-rated tire in a 110/90V18 front and 150/70V17 rear that would be a great combo. I'm with these guys,no no to run bias/radial combo. Either one or the other. Can get the same size set also from Bridgestone in a BT45 HP tire(also bias ply V-rated). I can get both here at shop. PM me for pricing if you want. Ken

Since you asked…. I think you will do whatever you want, even if it is a bad idea. Let’s face it; it’s a dumb idea to put a rear dual purpose S- rated (112mph) tire on the front of your bike along with a V-rated supermoto tire on the rear of your bike instead of getting a pair of tires that are designed to work together. The 2 tires you mention are not going to play nice together because they are not engineered to do so. I’m having a hard time understanding why you are opposed to using tires that have been designed to work together, and your desire to have a “softer” tire on the front is very strange. What is it you are trying to accomplish? :blink:

The short bus was leaving. :woohoo:

What kind of Kaw are we talking about? Its not a good idea (at all) to run a enduro tire and a street tire combo on any bike. Are you having troubles sourcing street tires due to spoked wheels? The only way around this is to run a tube in a tubeless tire (which most manufactures frown upon) or send the wheels out to someone like Buchanans (sp?) and have them sealed on the inside so you can run tubeless tires. You might want to talk to a tire shop and see what they recommend for your application.
