Right now i have the pirelli mt60 but they lasted only around 5k km...So i were thinking of installing a distanzia super moto on the back,while i stick on my pirelly front,which arises the question...Will i be having stability problems?
Or should i go for full distanzias/mt60?

I thought about that mix when I was changing the rear a few months ago and the guy in the shop advised against it.

In fact he actually screwed his face up when I suggested it lol.

...because what he really wanted was to sell you two tyres not one!

Do I need the front too or ill be ok?

No no...he sold me another Pirelli.

Two separate issues tyre wear?? I have never known a bike eat tyres like an XT,the original Pirellis went 1200 miles but even with Road Smarts on front hasn't done 1500 miles and it scrap.

Re mixing tyres you will never find anyone in the bike trade or any position of responsibility advocate mixing makes and neither will your insurance company,companys spend a lot of money getting a front and rear to work together,most customers I've come across only want to mix tyres to save money end of.

Tyres went through a major change in 07 with the advent of dual compound and Michelin with their Road 02,Dunlop quickly jumped on the band wagon and the others have been playing catch up ever since,where things are changing again after the intro of dual compound both sports and touring I've noticed the habit of running a front sports tyre with a touring rear is starting to become popular again.

I'm about to try a Dunlop Sport Smart front with a Road Smart rear and I'll be honest and say Dunlop were not keen on me doing that either.

The only 2 matched sets I run are Michelin AC10 is a full knobbly...
& Shinko 705 for seal/gravel...
At the moment I have a Michelin AC10 on the front & Shinko 700 on the rear
which is my do most things OK combination..

I mix all the time, never had any problems with it.
- Karoo rear, MT21 front
- CO2 rear, 6Days front
- Scorpion trail rear, Trailmax front

In the case of the first 2 it was a conscious mix, because I like how they work together.
For the third it was due to my Scorpion Trail front getting slick ambitions. The Trailmax was the only decent tyre I could get on short notice in Slovenia. I figured it would be better to mix than to ride into the coming thunderstorms with a bald front. The rear was just new from before I left on holiday and I did not count on the front wearing so fast. It hasn't been a problem though, they work well together, even though they are very different tyres.

Hello there I am not sure if I have made the right choices i figured i would list the tyres i have used for my 11k use of my xtx

Both tyres started of life as standard Pirelli manufacturer tyres

Rear Tyres
Pirelli was well worn at 3800 miles replaced at 4400 miles
Continental Motion started looking worn after 4900 miles replaced after 5500
Continental Road Attack done 1k looking fine

Front Tyres
Pirelli started looking worn after 8k miles replaced after 9k really should have replaced after 8500k as when I took it off the rim i think my inner tube was made from thicker rubber but it was a very even wear lol
Continental Road Attack done 2k looking fine

the way ive always changed tyres on this bike and previous is to replace what needs replacing only as front and rear wear is normally very different

I did look at the Avon Distanzia but having never used Avon tyres and them having very mixed review online in general decided not to but would love to hear if any of u have used them how u found them as i may look into a second set rims
