Re: [ST] Mixing Tire brands

[Colt45 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to agree completely, here.  I cannot remember a bad experience 
mixing brands on a motorcycle.  Maybe a "not good".  The trouble is, 
it's a crap shoot as to whether you'll have success mating tires from 
different makers.

I had one frightening experience with radials on a beater pick-up.  I 
put new Sears tires on the rear and thought it would swap ends in every 
curve.  The Sears Manager took one curve and turned around.  I got 
different tires for the price difference and not a peep out of him.
