99Birdman Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 My bike had Dunlop 207s on it when I bought it. When the rear wore out I replaced both tires with 208s even though the front was still good. For some reason, my front 208 has worn much more than my rear(front definitly cupped). I probably have another 2k on the rear. Since the 208's superceded the 207's, would it cause a problem to mount the 207 front with the 208 rear? Need to try to get another month out of them before going to Avons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RQ Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Birdman, I'm just about to do the same. I have a brand new 208 ready to go on the rim on Saturday morning, and a 207 front that has at least 2k miles left on it. I'm not worried, just get the feel of it before hooning around!

Pete in PA Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 JUST DO IT! Heck I've run Dunlop with Bridgestone and many other combos. No problems. Tires cost too much to throw one out with life left in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPeteXX Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I ran an Avon rear and dunlop front for about 1k miles with no issues at all. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Since the 208's superceded the 207's, would it cause a problem to mount the 207 front with the 208 rear? Nope. That is what was on my bike until yesterday. Now going with 014 Bridgestone front & rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
