See you at my intervention!
So up until the last set of tires I've run the standard OEM bt020f's front and rear and get about 8k out of them. As they wear (in my experience) the sides of the front are gone well before the rear is done. That's not to say it doesn't square a bit.
This time I went with the 023GT front and rear and love the handling, at 5500 miles the front is wearing better than any of the 020's I had on. The O23GT rear however was feathering at 3500 miles badly enough that the rubber was balling up on the sides of the tire and looks as though it will be a goner by 6500 miles. Thinking of the better of the wear characteristics from the two tires I'm inclined to look at putting the O23GT on the front and in 020F on the rear. Have any of you guys tried this and how is the handling?
Primarily secondary roads, enjoy the twisties, occasional highway… when I have to. 42 pounds Front and rear checked before every ride
