[QUOTE="SERider, post: 331024, member: 11412"] I have heard folks running different models or even brands of tires to get the effect you have mentioned, stickier tires up fornt and longer wearing in the rear. I've done this in the past with no ill effect, however my opinion is to stay with the same model fornt and rear. They have been engineered to work in harmony together utilizing the same exact compounds, etc. I'm running Michelin Pilot Roads Front/Rear and find them excellent. I've got about 8,000 miles on them and thought I would keep the front and replace the rear in the next 3-4,000 depending how they look. (You typically can run 2 rears to 1 front) However, the front is surpisingly worn in my inspection, so I may need to replace both as a set. This shows me the front is gripping well and wearing at abt the same rate as the rear. I may graduate to the Michelin Pilot Road 2 on the next round. [/QUOTE]
