I think this has been discussed before but i could not find an exact answer, my brother needs a new rear tyre on his bike before he can ride it (passed his DAS yesterday) at the mo its got a BT10 on the pront and a shagged pirelli diablo. He and I were thinking a BT45 on the rear, as i have that and can't complain at all. so would be

BT45 rear
BT10 front

is this ok?

no that would be illegal.

Its illegal to have a radial(BT010) on the front and a crossply (the BT45) on the rear.

If you need a cheap radial, get an Avaon Azaro.

Why not just get an 010 on the back ?

dont do a BT10 in the profile i need, any other suggestions on tyres to go with BT10 front? The original size for the rear is 150/60, would it matter if i got a 160/60?
