Michelin PR 2 Fronts

[jnor]

Anybody know anywhere that has 120/70 ZR17 pr 2 fronts in stock ??? I can't seem to find any.

That being said I have a new rear PR 2 that I haven't mounted yet, I can get front PR 2 CT's Is that a bad mix to put a PR 2CT on the front, and a PR 2 on the rear. What's the difference ??

I'm putting them on the Versys, not the FJR.

I have mixed and matched often. Right now the PR 2CT wore out on the front so I put a nearly new Pilot Road on and I still have around 2,000 miles left on the Road 2CT rear. If you are riding 'normally' on the street I don't think mixing a 'regular' Pilot with a dual compound is a big deal.

When the 2CT wears out on the rear I have a Roadsmart ready.

You could try Two Brothers in GA. They usually have PR2's in stock.

I ran into the same thing at Cycle Gear this last week, plenty of rears, but no front PR2's what so ever! I was in extreme need, so ended up with a BT-021 again.

You, nor your Bike will noticed a difference. I've been running a PR front with a PR2 rear. Going to put new PR on front this weekend. Tripped near 8K on front and 5K on rear PR.

On other Bikes I've mixed biased with radials, front and back, and car tires with whatever. The ONLY thing that did not work well was a 150/80/16 front on the rear of an 1100 Shadow. It was toast around 2500 miles as I remember. If it had been mounted on the front of a RoadStar or Nomad it would have likely gone 17-20K as previous identical Pirellis.
