Re: [ST] Time for my first rear tyre

[Colt45 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My BT020 rear lasted 9400 Kms.  I replaced a few miles before I HAD to, 
but the wear bars were showing.  I'd look at  touring tires like the 
Metzler MEZ4 (ME880s won't fit).  However, I'd put on another BT57 so I 
could wear out the front and rear at the same time.  It's not usually a 
good idea to mix brands of tires.  They are contoured to work well 
together, but not necessarily with a different brand.
