With the bias ply up front it felt 'heavy' plus I think it will re-introduce the wobble, but it sure is cheaper than a new front wheel. Something to think on.

Googled it a long time ago I think. I'm not 100% sure of that, but I think it's correct.

Personally, running radials front and rear would be the o

Im ok with radial on the rear and bias on the front.
I dont understand that fairy tales :ummm:

Maybe You mixed the sport and tournig tyres?
Diffrent compounds are also not a good idea..

I don't know any professional road racer, tuner , tire changer, or mfg. that recommends mixing radials & bias - ply. If it's a myth , it's a myth I beleive in , especially when I'm leaning into a curve or nailing the brakes.

Yes, I was always hearing the same.
I was also with this theory back in the days.
But no one ever replied for the main question:
"Why?"

Finaly, when I've tried on my own skin I changed my mind.
Bealive me, is was very sticky ride with NP.

I think its more depandable with rubber compound, not mixing the tourning and sport tyres I guess.
