It's best to have the same tread pattern on both tires. Also, that front tire definitely needs to be replaced due to its age. It's a ticking time bomb waiting to explode or for the tread to separate from the belts. I wouldn't trust that front tire above 50mph.
2005 zx6r bike. Pirelli Angel GT rear tire. What to put on front tire????????
Hello,
so i have a stock size Pirelli Angel GT tire on the rear. Ive seen the debates on moving from a 120/65 to 120/70 tire in the front. When i looked at the date of my front used tire (Michelin Pilot Power 2CT) (120/65) it said it was from 2006. So i defiantly need a new tire right???
I leaning towards just sticking with 120/65 size in the front because i dont wanna deal with messing with the hight of the bike and all that. But im still not 100% sure if i want to stick with that size yet bc i would like to have matching tires.
I was wondering if having the pirelli angle gt tires in the rear and a new michelin pilot power 2ct tire in the front would be a big deal. Because of mixing tires.

so would you recommend moving to 120/70 in the front ?
I recommend staying with stock tire sizes unless it's a track bike.so would you recommend moving to 120/70 in the front ?
Unless you're smarter than the engineers who designed the bike. They utilize tires and wheels of a certain size for specific reasons and slapping something else on for looks or a falsely-perceived performance gains is just stupid.
Unless ur a racer or u have handling problems already, u wont notice much (if any) change w the front tire size. I dont think ive ever seen a 120/65 and im a kaw dealer tech. Id say if ur gonna ride a lot, get Power 5s, if u only ride maybe a few thousand a year then pick whatever tire floats ur boat for the riding u think ur gonna do
