What category do you fall in?

The answer depends on what bike I'm riding.
If it's my RC when she's done, then it's gonna be same model, same profile, but the rear is probably gonna be one step harder.
If I'm running something ratty, like for instance a crashed Kan-o-tuna or a dying YZF600R, then it's gonna be whatever holds air.

I have PP's front and rear right now. But I'm thinking PP front and Road 2 rear for the next set.

Heard it's a good combo, and the way the buell eats rear tires... harder compound can't hurt.

Running different tires makes/brands on front and rear these days with radials isn't as bad as it used to be with the old belted and bias-ply tires, but it still isn't what they were designed to work with. If I had a freebie to throw on and it was different, I still would, but I would take it easy for a bit before I pushed them, to see if they had any wierd/different characteristics or anything.

I think you need to get a less sticky rear... that way maybe next time you will just spin the tire instead of looping it.
