Default Re: Which tires are considered

BIG CARROT:

You can mix some tires successfully, however, large footprint bias ply on the rear and radials on the front are a recipe for disaster. On the other hand, you could run drag radials on the rear and small foot print bias plys (skinnies) on the front without much trouble.

John Purner is pretty liberal on his recommendations, but, he will not recommend the rear/bias ply and front/radial combo. You won't get burnt every time, however, hit some uneven road at high speed and the fun starts.
