your pithy ruminations on <Re: Tires Again> were:
=> Grant, D207 120/70/17 up front, 180/55/17 BT56SS in the rear works well. No
=> real issue in "mixing" brands. Good luck. Stan

My experience (and I've got to order another set of tires soon) is that the 180/55
rear looks good, but the lower profile means that the center flat spot will show up
sooner, even though there's still tread. The tire profile is "flatter" than the 170/60
rear to begin with, and unless you're able do enough fun riding to wear out the edges
first, you'll end up replacing the tire because the handling has deteriorated before
you're absolutely out of tread.
