How do you guys feel about mismatched tires?

The rear on my DRZSM is dead and the front is hardly even scrubbed in, most of my riding is just commuting.. and i'm poor. I don't really wanna put another D208 on there just so it can round off straight away and die in 3500km's.

and two, I had always planned on a Pilot road 2 on the rear, and maybe a pilot power on the front. After looking around the Road 2 comes in 150/70 instead of 150/60, apparently its about 12mm taller(radius?) With a hard rubber and stiff sidewall i think it should be ok?

I found out that Dunlop have discontinued the D208 so i could throw a,uh i want to say GPRA100? on it or grab a new set. I think i'll just grab a set of pilot powers, or a set of battlax 021's/pilot road 2's when my tax cheque clears.

Does anyone have experience with any of those? I know that on the BT021's only the rear is dual compound.

Avons, Maxxis and continental are preety much unheard of around here as i asked today.


vvvvvv

I'm not exactly sure what the GPRA-10 corresponds to in the US, but it looks like it's a track tire for smaller displacement bikes? I don't think we even get that out here...


I looked it up. Its the GPR-100, its just a sport/tourer tyre.
