#397181 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 Mixing Tires- Shinko and Dunlop 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Anyone have experience mixing a Shinko rear and a Dunlop front? If so, any issues?   Logged     “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #397182 Greysnake (User) I'm so far behind I think I'm first. Platinum Boarder Posts: 7911 Re:Mixing Tires- Shinko and Dunlop 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I've had a Dunlop rear and a Metzler front one time and had no riding issues. The metz was one made in Brazil and cracked on the sidewalls(ie'WhiteWall).   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #397201 CPORetired (User) What do you mean my birth certificate expired?!!!?

What I have found, is that Load Range B or C tires front and rear help hugely with handling and stability. 77H is the stuff. I caught Michelin Commanders on close-out at Joe Wilson for 59.95 each a couple of months ago. Put a 140/90 77H on the back and a 130/90 73H on the front. Run them at 36/40 pressure, and they rock. It is true, they needed a couple hundred break-in miles, but love them. Too bad they are out of production, in favor of the newest "Harley tire". Those will probably be good tires as well, but we all know that H-D stands for Hunnerd Dollars, which is the mere starting point for anything but a Tee shirt or bandana that has the logo on it.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access.
