As I'm getting to check out my recently purchased sight-unseen NT, one of the things I've discovered is there's a radial tire (Battleax BT023) on the front, decent tread remaining, and a near-new to new bias ply tire (Shinko AR 741, nubs still showing) on the rear. I searched the forums and found some discussion of mixing a bias ply and a radial, dating back to 2011. Trend seemed to be that those who'd tried it in this same arrangement (radial on front, bias ply on rear) had no problems. I've only put about 25 miles on the bike so far, and haven't noticed any problem, but since all my previous riding experience (~1968-2005) was on bias ply tires, I'm wondering if anyone has any further, more recent experience, positive or negative, with mixed tire types?
Thanks!
