I've got a Dunlop 404 on the rear and a Michelin on the front. The people I talked to at 2 different shops said it doesn't matter if there are two different brands of tires on your bike as long as they are the right size. But at 16,000 miles, I would get a new one anyway. We want you arriving safe in Gawga, Will.
