I'm not satisfied with the front end handling of my Spyder with the OEM Kenda's (surprise!), especially ryding 2-up. It feels like I'm slyding in sharper turns. So, I'm researching new tyres for the front (leaning toward the Hankook's but no firm decision yet). Anyway, while reading a bunch of tyre threads, I noticed a lot of Spyder owners use different brand tyres front vs rear. I may be old school, but I was always under the impression that for best handling and stability use the same tyre/tread pattern front to rear. Is there an advantage on the Spyder to using different tyres front vs rear? Or does this evolve from "What's the best front tyre?" then "What's the best rear tyre?" and then combining the 2 regardless? I did search but couldn't find a good discussion that answered my question other than people were satisfied with their combination. Bottom line, is there an advantage to running different tyres front vs rear?
