Mix of a tyre brand?

[superstacker]

Can i fit a BT010 rear tyre, onto a bike that has a BT020 fitted at the front?

Seen a good deal for a new BT010 but need to know whether it would be ok.

A quick reply appreciated guys!

bike is a ZZR400, rear tyre size is 160/60/R17

You should really have the 020 on the rear, and the 010 on the front. The 010 will have more grip as it's a softer compound, which means the 020 will last longer. I'd stick an 020 on the rear personally.

I'd get both .

But then, personally, I wouldn't have an 020 on the front.

At the mo I've got a Supercorsa front and 010 rear on my TRX (only a bit more power than a 400) - very nice combination that seems to work well.
The supercorsa would have cost £25 as a race scrub; and the 010 cost me £25 part worn with loads of tread - had been on a supermoto and was very slightly eaten on the far left.

If there is a difference the front must be of a more sticky compound than the front and the 010/020 combination is common on several bikes with the 020 on the rear. Some replacement people are more strict on applying the tyre code than others but the combination you suggest is not a good one, either fit an 020 on the back or replace both tyre's.
